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: Behavioral issues, including bullying, often arise during early childhood. Mothers play a critical role in shaping their children's psychological and social development. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of behavioral parent training (BPT) on improving the parenting sense of competence among mothers of school-aged boys who engage in bullying. Methods: This quantitative, quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design with a control group and a three-month follow-up. The study population included mothers of bullying boys aged 10-12 who attended Razi Psychological Services Clinic, affiliated with the Department of Education in Karaj, Alborz Province, Iran in 2024. The study participants were selected through convenience sampling technique. A total of 30 mothers were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups using the permuted block method. The intervention group participated in an eight-week BPT program, with one-hour sessions held weekly, whereas the control group did not receive any intervention during the study period. Data were collected using the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSCS) and analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests in SPSS version 26. Results: The analysis revealed significant differences in parenting competence between the intervention and control groups at both the post-test and follow-up stages, favoring the intervention group. Specifically, mothers in the intervention group showed improved parenting competence scores (pre-test: 2.40±2.58; post-test: 3±2.96) compared with the control group (pre-test: 2.80±1.14; post-test: 2.66±1.44). Additionally, significant differences were observed across the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up phases (P=0.02). Conclusions: The findings suggested that BPT effectively enhances mothers' sense of parenting competence, fostering positive changes in parenting behaviors and approaches.
