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
Purpose: Understanding how protective processes support resilience following domestic violence is important for developing effective interventions. While existing research has examined children's risks and resilience after domestic violence exposure, less is known about how second-stage shelters support resilience. Drawing on staff perspectives within a biopsychosocial framework, this study explored how the second-stage shelter context was perceived to shape children's resilience. Methods: This study followed a directed qualitative content analysis methodology. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with fifteen staff members at a second-stage shelter in Canada, incorporating open-ended questions and a reflective art-based activity to enhance depth of insight. Results: Findings demonstrated that children's resilience was understood as emerging through interconnected physical, psychological, and social-environmental processes, with psychological and social-environmental processes featuring most prominently in participants' accounts. Professional support emerged as a cross-domain protective factor connecting multiple areas of children's wellbeing, alongside maternal mental health, parenting capacity, children's self-regulation, and safety. Key opportunities included shelter safety, accessible services, and sustained duration of support. Children's adjustment within the second-stage shelter context was perceived as involving transitions over time, with resilience developing through the ongoing interaction of protective processes and evolving experiences. Conclusion: This study extends understanding of children's resilience following domestic violence exposure by illustrating how staff perceived resilience to develop within a second-stage shelter setting. Findings highlight resilience as a relational and context-dependent process emerging through interconnected protective processes, with implications for trauma-informed and developmentally responsive practice.
