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
Parenting is widely regarded as an important factor in children's early moral development.

Participants were 143 preschoolers aged 3 to 6 years (70 boys, 73 girls) and their parents from six kindergartens in Guangzhou, China. Parents independently completed the short form of the EMBU; children's moral sensitivity was assessed using a scenario-based transgression evaluation task. Regression analyses revealed that parenting associations were concentrated in the loyalty domain: maternal overprotection (β = -0.25,
