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
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) presents challenges that both influence and are influenced by the child's environment. While non-pharmacological interventions exist for youth and parents, brief and accessible programmes that also engage the wider social network are lacking. This study evaluated the feasibility of the psychoeducational programme SKILLS for the child's Social Network (SKILLS-SN), focusing on implementation, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes. One hundred participants-including parents, grandparents, stepparents, and others in the child's network-attended the two-session intervention at two sites, online or in person. Following the intervention, demographic data and satisfaction ratings were collected. Participants also completed pre- and post-ratings of perceptions of the youth's ADHD, treatment, and challenges. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and with non-parametric tests; an open-ended response regarding opinions about SKILLS-SN was analyzed with qualitative content analysis. Attendance was high, with over 97% completing both sessions; 17% of participants were non-parents. Most rated SKILLS-SN as good or excellent, and 99% would recommend it to others. Increased knowledge about ADHD was most valued. No significant changes were observed in participants' attitudes towards ADHD or treatment. The qualitative analysis identified three themes: programme strengths (e.g., useful as basic training), suggestions for improvement (e.g., more discussion time), and experienced impact (e.g., increased knowledge). SKILLS-SN appears to be a feasible and acceptable brief psychoeducational programme for the child's social network. Future work should enhance participant interaction, broaden inclusion to school personnel and other key individuals, and further evaluate effectiveness and long-term outcomes.
