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
This study provides a systematic review of research hotspots and trends in the field of parent-child reading, covering the period from 2005 to 2024, based on data retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Web of Science (WOS). The results indicate that both Chinese- and English-context research on parent-child reading focus on the family literacy environment, the impact of parent-child reading on child development, social support systems, and educational equity. Chinese research places greater emphasis on family reading, family-kindergarten collaboration, and father involvement. This research mainly examines parental guidance strategies and pays particular attention to current practices, especially in rural areas. It highlights the role of fathers in reading, with picture books being the most commonly used reading materials. In contrast, English-context research focuses more on language development and early literacy, with particular emphasis on the development of children's literacy skills and school readiness. Greater attention is also given to multicultural and minority groups, the role of mothers in reading is more frequently emphasized, and the reading materials are predominantly storybooks and wordless books. Research in both Chinese and English contexts reveals that parent-child reading interactions serve as a channel for the transmission of cultural values, leading to distinct developmental priorities for children. These differences profoundly reflect the systematic influence of sociocultural logics on parental reading behaviors and related research. This analysis provides an empirical foundation for future international collaboration in cross-cultural research.
