1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The Strong Families (SF) Program, developed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, is an evidence-informed family skills intervention designed to support caregivers and children in low-resourced, high-stress circumstances. Following a pilot phase, we revised the program materials according to the expert trainers' suggestions to best reflect the needs of the target population. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, effectiveness, and cultural adaptability of the second phase of the SF Program expansion in northern Thailand. Methods: This prospective mixed methods pretest-posttest feasibility cohort study involved 68 families (caregivers and children as 1:1) from Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Chiang Rai-3 provinces in northern Thailand. The applied intervention consisted of a 3-week program with both separate and joint sessions for caregivers and children. Quantitative data were collected using the Parent and Family Adjustment Scales, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised-Person Most Knowledgeable About the Child. Data were analyzed using linear mixed-effects regression. Qualitative data were gathered through semistructured interviews with 19 families and analyzed using content analysis to identify key themes. Results: Quantitative analysis using linear mixed-effects regression revealed significant improvements in coercive parenting (β=-0.10; Conclusions: The SF Program is a culturally adaptable and effective intervention for improving family dynamics in low-resource settings.
