The typical and atypical development of dynamic self-regulation and coregulation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia in mothers and children across early childhood.

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
We examined the development of mother-child dynamic self-regulation and coregulation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) from ages 3 to 4, and variations by harsh parenting. RSA was collected from at-risk mother-preschooler dyads during a challenging task (N = 129; 53% female; 63.6% White; 24.8% Latinx; collected 2013-2017). Across development, lower-risk mothers showed increased RSA self-regulation inertia and decreased mother-led RSA coregulation with children, supporting the theory that parents externally regulate young children, which weakens as children develop regulatory skills. Conversely, harsher mothers showed increased mother-led RSA coregulation and their children showed increased RSA self-regulation inertia (implying less flexibility), suggesting children of harsher mothers experience increasing physiological regulatory difficulties and receive or need greater external regulation from mothers across early childhood.
