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
introductionCyberbullying is a growing concern in the digital age, posing serious threats to children's mental health, social relationships, and overall well-being. Parents raising children in a highly digitalized world employ a range of digital parenting strategies, including active monitoring, content regulation, and technology control, to guide children's online experiences. However, little research has examined the presence of heterogeneous profiles of these parenting strategies and examined how they influence children's involvement in cyberbullying behaviors. Guided by neo-ecological theory, an extension of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory into the digital context, this study investigated profiles of digital parenting styles and their associations with cyberbullying.
methodsData were drawn from 306 parent-child dyads in the U.S. (parents: M age = 38.52, 60.8% mothers; children: M age = 11.80, 50.7% boys). Parents completed surveys regarding digital parenting practices, while children reported their cyberbullying experiences. Latent profile analysis was conducted to identify distinct parenting profiles, and group differences in children's cyberbullying perpetration and victimization were examined.
resultsThe analysis revealed four distinct digital parenting profiles: low engagement (10%), discordant (24%), trust-based (32%), and high engagement (34%). Children of parents with discordant and low-engagement profiles reported higher levels of cyberbullying perpetration compared to those in high-engagement and trust-based profiles. Similarly, children of discordant parents showed the highest levels of cyberbullying victimization, followed by those with low-engagement, trust-based, and high-engagement parents.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the importance of consistent, engaged, and trust-oriented digital parenting in reducing children's risks of becoming involved in cyberbullying, as perpetrators or victims.
