1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Parental reflective functioning is crucial for the development of children's reflective functioning, with cross-sectional evidence supporting this idea. However, there is a lack of long-term, prospective studies in this area and no previous studies have examined parental reflective functioning and child reflective functioning in the context of adoption. Using a structural equation modeling approach, this study addressed this knowledge gap by examining the associations between 96 Belgian adoptive mothers' and fathers' reflective functioning during the transition to adoptive parenthood, their levels of parental reflective functioning during their adopted child's early childhood, and the children's reflective functioning in early adolescence (M
