1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

High-quality early care and education (ECE) programs, characterized by safe environments, emotionally supportive communication, proactive behavior supports, and teacher self-care practices, play a pivotal role in healthy child development. Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (ECMHC) is an evidence-based approach designed to strengthen these environments and support young children's social-emotional outcomes. However, the long-term impacts of ECMHC models remain understudied. Grounded in ECMHC, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Jump Start Plus COVID Support (JS+CS) in supporting child psychosocial outcomes (prosocial behaviors and reduced externalizing/internalizing behaviors) over two school years. In a cluster-randomized trial, 12 ECE centers received the 14-week JS+CS intervention, and 12 attention control centers received a 14-week obesity prevention program. Children were followed over two school years to determine long-term impacts on behavior, measured by the Devereux Early Childhood Assessment (DECA) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Over two school years, significant time-by-group interactions emerged for primary child outcomes. The JS+CS group showed greater improvements in DECA Initiative and Self-Regulation (
