Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: This study investigates Italian parents' perceptions of 'good parenting' and cultural variations. 250 mothers and 87 fathers were surveyed during the third trimester, with follow-ups at 6-12 weeks and 6 months postpartum. Methods: Using Grounded Theory Analysis, data underwent iterative coding, forming lower and higher order codes, super-categories, and themes. Results: The resulting theory, 'The diminishing polyads of parenting,' identifies four themes for mothers and three for fathers. Mothers prioritize emotional presence, self-sacrifice, and role balance, while fathers focus more on physical presence and active involvement. Discussion: The study advocates for a gender-neutral approach to supporting diverse family dynamics, recognizing evolving parental views and societal norms' impact. Inclusive interventions and policies can better aid families in their parenting journey.
