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
Background: School burnout (SBO) poses a growing threat to the psychological well-being of primary school students in high-pressure educational systems. While negative parenting has been implicated in academic maladjustment, the psychological mechanisms underlying this association and whether they operate consistently across both parents remain poorly understood. This study investigates the mediating role of ego-resilience (ER) in the association between fathers' and mothers' negative parenting behaviors (rejection, overprotection, and lack of emotional warmth) and SBO among Chinese primary school students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a public primary school in Hebei Province, China, involving 853 students from grades 4 through 6. Fathers' and mothers' parenting behaviors were assessed using the Chinese version of the Short-form Egna Minnen av. Barndoms Uppfostran (S-EMBU-C); SBO was evaluated using the Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory (ASBI), and ER was measured using the Chinese version of the Ego-Resilience Scale (ER89-C). Data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation and mediation analysis via PROCESS macro (Model 4) to test the indirect effects of parenting behavior on SBO through ER. Results: Both fathers' and mothers' negative parenting was positively associated with SBO and negatively associated with ER. Mediation analyses revealed that ER significantly and partially mediated the relationship between negative parenting and SBO for both fathers ( Conclusion: ER functions as a pivotal psychological mechanism through which both fathers' and mothers' negative parenting behaviors are associated with SBO. The structural consistency across both parents suggests that preserving students' ER represents a universal protective target independent of parental role. These findings offer a theoretically grounded basis for family-school interventions aimed at fostering adaptive capacity and mitigating SBO in competitive educational contexts.
