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
Objective: To examine sociodemographic, clinical, and support-related factors associated with parenting concerns among Japanese parents with cancer raising children aged < 18 years. Methods: This secondary analysis used data from a cross-sectional web survey previously conducted to validate the Japanese Parenting Concerns Questionnaire (PCQ). Invitations were sent to 2852 members of a Japanese online patient support network, and 174 parents responded. PCQ analyses were restricted to 157 participants who selected Married in the survey marital-status variable. The PCQ total score was the primary outcome, and three subscales were exploratory outcomes. Multiple linear regression analyses used a post hoc parsimonious model and an expanded forced-entry sensitivity model. Results: Participants had a median age of 45 years, and 145 (83%) reported female sex. In the parsimonious total-score model, higher PCQ scores were associated with female sex (B = 5.33, 95% CI 1.03-9.64), uterine/ovarian cancer (B = 6.19, 95% CI 1.00-11.38), chemotherapy (B = 3.54, 95% CI 0.11-6.96), a self-reported past/current psychiatric history (B = 5.46, 95% CI 2.43-8.49), and reported wanting practical support with parenting (B = 5.74, 95% CI 1.98-9.49). In the expanded model, the associations with uterine/ovarian cancer, chemotherapy, self-reported past/current psychiatric history, and reported wanting practical support with parenting remained, whereas the female-sex association was attenuated ( Conclusions: Despite the limited single-network sample and low response rate, this study found that parenting concerns were associated with several self-reported characteristics and preferences for parenting support. However, these exploratory cross-sectional findings do not establish causal relationships or provide sufficient evidence to justify clinical targeting. Further confirmation in larger and more representative samples is needed.
