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
Aims: This study examines whether positive childhood experiences (PCEs) mediate the relationship between secure attachment and family conflict, peer bullying, and family cohesion in adolescents. Method: The sample includes 574 high school students [301 female (52.4%), 273 male], aged 14 to 18 years ( Results: Findings revealed that secure attachment was positively associated with PCEs, which in turn were linked to greater family cohesion and lower levels of family conflict and peer bullying. Mediation analyses confirmed that PCEs significantly mediated the relationship between secure attachment and family conflict, peer bullying, and family cohesion. Conclusion: These findings suggest PCEs as a key variable linking secure attachment to adolescents' social and family adjustment. They emphasize the critical role of nurturing supportive developmental environments across diverse contexts.
