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
Parenting behavior is thought to be undergirded by internal processes, including autonomic and neuroendocrine responsivity. Parents are school-aged children's primary sources of support and guidance, underscoring the importance of identifying proximal influences on parenting behavior in middle childhood. However, the literature on physiological correlates of parenting behaviors in school-aged children has yet to be comprehensively reviewed. To address this gap, we conducted a pre-registered systematic review with the aims of assessing physiological responsivity and its correlates at both within- and between-person levels of analysis and during stressful and non-stressful tasks. We identified 23 studies that described parents' physiological responsivity in either general autonomic, parasympathetic, or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning and associations between physiological responsivity and observed parenting behavior among families with children ages 5-12 years. Overall, the results suggested that parents' physiological responses during parent-child interactions varied within and across tasks, though parents typically demonstrated stress responses to child performance challenges. The links between physiological responsivity and parenting behavior depended on family risk status and analytic method (e.g., between- vs. within-level analyses). On the basis of the present results, we suggest several potential directions for future research (e.g., attention to dynamic and multisystem processes) to elucidate biobehavioral processes implicated in parenting.
