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
backgroundThe birth of a baby with a congenital abnormality causes emotional and psychological suffering for the parents. This study will aim to investigate the impact of a family-centered care program on psychological outcomes, including aggression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study will be a prospective, multicenter, single-blind randomized controlled trial. The participants will include 74 parents of children with malformations who will score above 24 on the PTSD assessment using the Revised Weiss and Marmar Impact of Event Questionnaire (IES-R). Sampling will be performed in a non-proportional random stratified manner. The CONSORT-SPI guideline and SPIRIT guideline will be adhered to in this study. The control group will receive the routine intervention of the department, while the intervention group will participate in a family-oriented educational-support program based on four steps: Information exchange, self-efficacy promotion, self-confidence (self-esteem), and evaluation. Anger assessment using the Spielberger trait-state anger inventory (STAXI-2) and PTSD assessment using the IES-R questionnaire will be conducted at three stages: Before the intervention, immediately afterward, and 1 month later. The results will be compared between the two groups.
conclusionTo support or enhance the psychological well-being of parents with infants born with congenital malformations, there will be a pressing need for tailored interventions. This family-centered intervention, designed for all parents facing similar challenges, has the potential to significantly enhance their psychological resilience. We anticipate that implementing this intervention will lead to notable improvements in psychological outcomes, particularly in mitigating the effects of anger and PTSD, as individuals adopt effective coping strategies and adjust to their new circumstances.
