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.
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: Previous research has established adverse parental rearing as a significant risk factor for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). This study investigated whether maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and negative perfectionism serve as psychological mechanisms underlying this association, with particular attention to potential sequential mediation pathways. Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional design and multi-channel convenience sampling approach. A sample of 827 Chinese university students completed standardized measures assessing OCPD features (OCPD subscale of Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+, PDQ-4+), parental rearing styles (short-form Egna Minnenav Barndoms Uppfostran, s-EMBU), emotion regulation strategies (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, CERQ), and perfectionism traits (Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, FMPS). We employed structural equation modeling based on Mplus 8.3 to examine both direct effects of adverse parenting on OCPD and indirect effects mediated through emotion regulation and perfectionism. Results: Path analysis revealed a significant direct effect of adverse parenting on OCPD features ( Conclusion: These findings reveal that adverse parenting contributes to OCPD both directly and through a sequential emotional-cognitive pathway where poor emotion regulation fosters perfectionist attitudes. This study identifies modifiable psychological processes-emotion regulation and perfectionism-as promising targets for early intervention aimed at reducing OCPD risk in individuals exposed to negative parenting.
