Risk and protective factors for consistent family routines among caregivers with preschool-age children.
Article in Child abuse & neglect, 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
backgroundConsistent family routines (e.g. bed/wake times, shared meals) are associated with improved child health and behavior, but caregiver risk and protective factors for these routines are poorly understood.
objectiveTo examine the extent to which caregiver risk (childhood maltreatment history, mental health symptoms) and protective (positive childhood experiences, social support) factors are associated with consistent family routines. We also examine whether caregivers' protective factors mitigate relationships between risk factors and family routine consistency. PARTICIPANTS AND
settingCaregivers (n = 107 mothers, n = 23 fathers) with children age 3-5 years recruited from community settings.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, caregivers self-reported routines, risk factors, and protective factors using validated measures. We used multivariate linear regression to examine associations between caregiver factors and family routines. We tested moderation using interaction terms.
resultsCaregivers' childhood maltreatment history (β = -0.34(0.06), p = .002, f
conclusionsCaregivers with a history of childhood maltreatment or current mental health symptoms may benefit from interventions to help promote consistent family routines. Future longitudinal research may elucidate the role of family routines in the intergenerational transmission of childhood maltreatment and other stressors.
