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
introductionThe Family Adaptation study, ancillary to the Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial, examined the prevalence of anxiety and its associations with stress, psychosocial factors, and quality of life measures in parents of infants who underwent the Norwood procedure. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo hundred and fifteen parents (143 mothers and 72 fathers) of 146 infants completed state anxiety (State Anxiety Inventory), stress, psychosocial, and quality of life measures post-Norwood, post-Stage II, and at a final visit (median child age: 14 months).
resultsA substantial proportion of parents reported severe anxiety symptoms following the Norwood surgery, with 61% of mothers and 43% of fathers affected, decreasing over time to 46% and 33% by the final visit, respectively. Mothers' average STAI-S scores were significantly higher than fathers' post-Norwood (47.7 ± 13.2 versus 43.5 ± 11.8,
conclusionAnxiety is elevated in parents of infants who underwent the Norwood procedure and is influenced by a complex interplay of stress, psychosocial factors, and quality of life. Addressing these factors is crucial for improving parents' mental health, which in turn promotes the well-being of the entire family.
