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
Teacher discipline functions as an essential instrument not only for promoting the healthy development of adolescents but also for cultivating the trust relationship between parents and educators. Based on signaling theory and just deserts theory, this study explore the effects of teacher discipline intensity, student violation severity, and perceived trustworthiness on parental trust in rural China. A total of 1,206 parents residing in rural areas of Yichuan County, Henan Province, China, completed an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that disciplinary intensity exhibit a significant negative correlation with parental trust. Trustworthiness (ability, benevolence, and integrity) completely mediated this negative effect of disciplinary intensity on parental trust. Moreover, violation severity moderated the mediation model. Specifically, teacher discipline intensity significantly negatively predicts parents' perception of teachers' ability, benevolence, and integrity under low violation conditions. In contrast, disciplinary intensity can also significantly negatively predict integrity; however, it was not possible to predict ability or benevolence in high violation conditions. These findings provide educators with insights on implementing appropriate discipline to enhance parental trust.
