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
Health disparities experienced by mothers of children with disability highlight the need for mental health and wellbeing interventions. This study investigated the health behaviour, health-seeking, mental health, wellbeing and longitudinal outcomes for participating mothers in the Healthy Mothers Healthy Families (HMHF) e-workshop package.
methodsData were collected at baseline (T1), post-intervention (T2), 6 weeks post-workshop (T3), and 12 weeks post-workshop (T4). The HMHF package included: three, 2-hour HMHF e-workshops facilitated by trained peer facilitators, messaging group support, electronic workbook, and online modules. Outcome measures included the Health Promoting Activities Scale (HPAS); Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21); Psychological General Wellbeing Index - subscales wellbeing (PGWBI-PWB), vitality (PGWBI-VT) and general health (PGWBI-GH); Family Empowerment Scale - Cohesion (FES-C); Family Environment Scale - Family (FES-Family); and My Families Accessibilities and Community Engagement (MyFACE). CONSUMER/COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: This project is about a co-designed intervention that is delivered by trained consumers.
resultsOutcomes for mothers (N = 56) from T1-T4: HPAS increased (Δ = 8.90, 95% CI 6.70-11.10, P < 0.001); Psychological distress decreased, with lower DASS Depression (Δ = -3.16, 95% CI - 4.84 to -1.47, P < 0.001), Stress (Δ = -6.45, 95% CI - 8.67 to -4.24, P < 0.001), and Anxiety (Δ = -2.26, 95% CI - 3.88 to -0.65, P = 0.006). Improvements were observed for psychological wellbeing and vitality, and for family environment, while no significant changes were found for general health or attitudes to community accessibility (MyFACE). Mothers reported improved stress management, diet, physical activity, participation in leisure, and self-concept.
conclusionThe HMHF package was effective in promoting positive and sustained mental health and wellbeing at 12-week follow-up. Increased engagement in health-promoting activities is indicative of effective inclusion of healthy habits in the daily routines of mothers who participated in the workshops. This online, group-based programme with occupational therapy foundations supported the health and empowerment of mothers who participated. Future development of similar programmes is recommended.
