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

This study aimed to identify parental influences on adolescent gambling using an online survey of 1,183 Australian parents (69% mothers) with an adolescent aged 12-17 years. The survey assessed a comprehensive range of demographic, adolescent and parent influences on adolescent gambling participation and gambling problems, focusing on gambling-related parental factors (i.e., parent problem gambling, parental attitudes to adolescent gambling, parental facilitation of gambling), parenting practices, and the parent-adolescent relationship. The results of multiple regression analyses revealed that parental facilitation of adolescent gambling was the strongest predictor of adolescent gambling participation and gambling problems, while other significant independent predictors were adolescent simulated gambling, poor parental monitoring, and less positive parent-adolescent relationships. The results emphasize the importance of targeting parents in strategies for reducing gambling and gambling-related harm in adolescents.
