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
Aim: Residential treatment camps for problematic internet use (PIU) may influence adolescents' behaviors and parental mental health and parenting attitudes. This secondary analysis examined the effects of a residential treatment camp on parents of adolescents with PIU. Methods: This secondary analysis included 20 parents (3 fathers and 17 mothers) of adolescents who participated in a residential treatment camp for PIU. Parents were assessed employing the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), Positive and Negative Parenting Scale (PNPS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form JYZ (STAI-JYZ). Qualitative analysis was conducted using free-response questionnaires regarding perceptions of adolescents' internet and gaming use. These evaluations were performed at baseline, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up. Results: The GHQ-12 scores demonstrated significant changes throughout the study period. They improved significantly after the intervention but deteriorated significantly at follow-up compared with after the intervention. No significant changes were identified in STAI-JYZ scores or PNPS positive parenting scores. The PNPS (negative attitude) showed significant changes between baseline and follow-up and between after the intervention and follow-up. Text mining results showed a transition from restrictive terms such as "protect" and "reduce" at baseline to autonomy-related terms including "myself," "decide," and "freedom" after the intervention and at follow-up. Conclusion: A residential treatment camp intervention for adolescents with PIU did not produce any significant long-term effects on their parents' mental health. However, text mining results suggested a shift in parental perspectives from restrictive control toward greater respect for adolescents' autonomy.
