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

Parents play an important role in the development of children's emotion regulation (ER) skills-not only through their responses to children's emotions themselves, but also as role models by demonstrating their own ER strategies. Recent studies suggest that interbrain synchrony (IBS) can provide deeper insights into such parent-child dynamics at the neural level. IBS has been suggested as a neural marker of interpersonal processes such as bond formation and information exchange, and is known to vary by emotional valence and social context. This work aimed to investigate IBS during shared mother-child emotional experiences across different social contexts to study the neural mechanisms underlying mothers' and children's ER skills. An emotional imagery task, in which 36 mother-child dyads (child age 10-14 years) imagined experiencing emotional situations both
