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
The current 20-year longitudinal study examined whether behavioral inhibition (BI), a temperament identified in late infancy/early childhood, moderates the associations between a) peer connectedness (feelings of closeness, ease, and availability of meaningful social bonds), b) frequency of functional support (how often interpersonal supportive behaviors are received) throughout middle childhood and adolescence, and c) adulthood anxiety. Data from 291 participants were analyzed. Participants were selected during infancy based on their level of reactivity to novel social and nonsocial stimuli, and BI was measured in toddlerhood. Participants completed questionnaires assessing social involvement throughout middle childhood and adolescence, and anxiety in early adulthood. Confirmatory factor analyses extracted factor scores from multiple indicators for peer connectedness, frequency of functional support, and anxiety. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the moderating effects of toddlerhood BI on the association between indices of social involvement and adulthood anxiety. BI moderates the relations between social involvement and adulthood anxiety; higher frequency of functional support in the presence of relatively low BI predicted lower adulthood anxiety (
