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
Recent decades have seen emergence of numerous evidence-based early parenting interventions. To make an impact at a population level, they need to be delivered at scale. This study aimed to identify factors that enable successful scaling of early parenting interventions for sustainable implementation and impact. Participants were 22 individuals from the United States of America, Australia, Korea and the Netherlands, all who had experience in the development, implementation dissemination and/or scaling of early parenting interventions. Participants completed in-depth interviews about their experiences or observations of scaling early parenting intervention, and enablers and barriers to successful scaling. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. Results revealed six key themes: (1) adopting a business mindset, including sustainable funding and governance models; (2) securing multi-level stakeholder buy-in, from clinicians to policymakers; (3) implementing flexible, context-sensitive models that support fidelity and adaptation; (4) ensuring intervention quality, including evidence-based design and cultural relevance; (5) assembling multidisciplinary teams with the necessary expertise and leadership; and (6) time and planning. Results suggest that scaling early parenting interventions is a dynamic, non-linear process that can take considerable time and planning. Scaled interventions need to be evidence-based and culturally relevant, but there also needs be a sound business model, widespread stakeholder involvement, and strong leadership. Sensitivity and flexibility to meet the needs of local contexts are also vital. Taken together, this study offers actionable insights for policymakers, funders, and practitioners seeking to expand the reach and impact of early parenting interventions within diverse service systems.
