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
objectivesOur study aimed to understand whether parenting practices, including positive parenting and caregiver involvement, and family conflict, moderated the relationship between experiences of racial-ethnic discrimination and mental health outcomes among Latine adolescents.
methodsWe used a cross-sectional study design using surveys administered to Latine adolescents ages 13–17 years and their primary caregivers in Indianapolis, Indiana. Data collected included demographics, experiences of racial-ethnic discrimination measured by the Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS), conflict (Parent-Child Conflict) and parenting (Parenting Practices), symptoms of anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder - GAD-7), depression (Mood and Feelings Questionnaire - MFQ), and internalizing and externalizing symptoms (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire – SDQ). Data were analyzed using multivariable linear regressions. Interaction terms were added to these models to test whether parenting practices (positive parenting and caregiver involvement), and caregiver-adolescent conflict, moderated the relationship between adolescents’ experiences of racial-ethnic discrimination and measures of mental health.
resultsOf 127 caregiver-adolescent dyads that responded to the survey, 92 were included in the analyses. Our sample included mostly female adolescents (60.9%) whose mean age was 15 years old. Regression analyses confirmed the negative effects of racial-ethnic discrimination on adolescent’s mental health outcomes. Positive parenting was consistently identified as having a positive effect on mental health. No moderating effects were identified.
conclusionsOur results have confirmed that racial-ethnic discrimination has poor implications for Latine adolescents’ mental health, while positive parenting has mental health-promotive effects. However, targeted interventions that build caregivers’ skills, beyond positive parenting, in creating a nurturing and supportive environment for their child may be needed.
