1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: This study examined the relationships between parenting styles and behavioral-emotional problems in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), investigating mobile phone addiction as a potential mediating mechanism. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed with 232 children diagnosed with ADHD (aged 6-17 years) and their parents. Participants completed the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham-IV (SNAP-IV) Rating Scale for ADHD symptoms, the Mobile Phone Addiction Self-Rating Scale, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) Brief Form, and the Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran (EMBU) Parenting Style Scale. Mediation analyses were conducted using Hayes' PROCESS macro with 5,000 bootstrap samples. Results: Negative parenting styles (rejection, overprotection) were significantly associated with increased behavioral-emotional problems ( Conclusion: Mobile phone addiction serves as a significant mediator between parenting styles and behavioral-emotional problems in ADHD children. Interventions targeting both parenting practices and digital device management may be beneficial for improving outcomes in this population.
