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

backgroundChildren's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been associated with both individual and family-related factors, including internalizing symptoms and parental psychological well-being. Although previous research has highlighted the role of parental mental health, evidence from non-clinical community samples remains limited, particularly when parent-proxy reports are used.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 242 parents of children aged 8-12 years in Northern Greece. Parents completed proxy measures of children's HRQoL and internalizing symptoms, as well as self-reported measures of their own HRQoL and anxiety. Nonparametric tests were used for bivariate analyses, and multiple linear regression was applied to identify independent predictors of children's HRQoL.

resultsHigher parental mental HRQoL was positively associated with children's HRQoL (ρ = 0.213,

conclusionsThe findings suggest that parent-proxy child HRQoL is associated with parental psychosocial functioning in this community-based sample. Parental mental HRQoL was the strongest independent correlate of parent-proxy child HRQoL. However, given the exclusive use of parent-proxy reports and the convenience-based sample, these findings should be interpreted cautiously, as shared method variance, rater-related effects, and limited generalizability may have contributed to the observed associations. Further multi-informant and longitudinal studies conducted in more diverse populations are warranted.
