Dynamics of Parental School Involvement on Children's Quality of Life-An Interactive Model.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesParental school involvement (PSI) is an adaptive construct that is sensitive to developmental and contextual changes and refers to the active and sustained engagement of parents in school- and home-based activities that support children's educational experiences. Perceived social support can strengthen PSI by reducing parenting stress, while PSI may, in turn, mediate the effects of all the above factors on children's quality of life (QoL). This study examined the direct and indirect associations among perceived social support, parenting stress, PSI, and children's QoL, adopting an integrative framework encompassing multiple psychosocial dimensions.
methodsThe sample comprised 358 Portuguese parents who completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and validated measures assessing PSI, parenting stress, social support, and children's QoL.
resultsPreliminary analyses showed that all four variables were strongly and significantly correlated. Path analysis revealed that the model showed satisfactory fit indices. Perceived social support was linked to lower parenting stress, which in turn was associated with reduced PSI. Meanwhile, greater involvement was associated with better children's QoL, indicating an indirect pathway from stress to QoL via involvement. Parenting stress and PSI acted as critical mediating pathways between perceived social support and children's well-being, the former as a risk factor and the latter as a protective resource.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the central role of PSI in promoting children's QoL and suggest that interventions aimed at increasing social support and reducing parenting stress may enhance parental engagement, with positive implications for family well-being.
