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
Introduction: Parenting practices are closely associated with children's peer social competence. As a positive parenting approach, mindful parenting is relevant to children's emotional development and social adjustment. However, the pathways linking mindful parenting to children's peer social competence remain insufficiently understood. Purpose: In the context of Chinese culture, this study examined the association between mindful parenting and peer social competence among preschool children and investigated the mediating role of children's emotion regulation and the moderating role of the parent-child relationship. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 531 families of kindergarten children. Parents completed the Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire (MIPQ), Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS), Social Competence With Peers Questionnaire (SCPQ), and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Results: All study variables were at moderate levels and showed substantial individual variation. Mindful parenting was positively associated with peer social competence (beta = 0.672, p < 0.001). Children's emotion regulation mediated this association, accounting for 33% of the total effect, and parent-child closeness moderated the association between mindful parenting and emotion regulation (beta = 0.031, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Mindful parenting was associated with peer social competence through the mediating role of children's emotion regulation, and this indirect association varied according to parent-child closeness. The findings suggest that strengthening parents' mindful awareness and parent-child closeness may support more adaptive emotional responses and, in turn, children's peer interactions, providing a basis for family-based interventions.
