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: Brief emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT) interventions have demonstrated numerous positive outcomes across the domains of child mental health and parent psychosocial well-being. However, there is limited research examining interpersonal processes at the family-level of analysis following 2-day EFFT programs. Methods: This study explored family functioning in the year following a virtual, parent-focused EFFT intervention ( Results: Variance in family functioning was attributable to stable differences between caregivers (level 2; 59%) and change over time (level 1; 41%), including measurement error. Growth curve analysis identified positive changes in family functioning post-intervention, with a cubic trajectory of improvement. Higher COVID-19 disruption, caregiver psychological distress, and parenting stress significantly predicted lower baseline family functioning, but did not significantly interact with change over time. Conclusions: These results suggest that there is a general pattern of non-linear change following EFFT workshops, specifically relating to family interpersonal dynamics. Overall, the study findings expand the evidence base for this promising, brief, relational intervention, now available in virtual formats, thereby increasing access for busy families.
