Social and emotional skills for nurturing parenting: A qualitative examination.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Social and emotional skills develop within cultural contexts and shape parenting behaviors, yet little work has examined the specific skills parents themselves consider important for parenting, or the factors they perceive as supporting these skills, in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Centering parents' own conceptualizations, this two-phase descriptive qualitative study with 54 parents living in Colombia combined an initial phase of focus groups and individual interviews with a second phase of targeted individual interviews, and used thematic analysis to explore the social and emotional skills parents identify as relevant to parenting and the risk and protective factors perceived to hinder or enhance their development. Our findings highlight the importance of emotional awareness, self-regulation, communication, cooperation, and problem-solving skills in adulthood for nurturing parenting and promoting children's social and emotional development. Parents' upbringing and support networks emerged as significant factors shaping skill development and child-rearing practices. These findings emphasize the need for policies and interventions, grounded in caregivers' own perspectives, to promote social and emotional skills for parents in LMIC contexts.
