The Relations between Repetitive Behaviors and Family Accommodation among Children with Autism: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Restricted and repetitive behaviors and interests (RRBI) are a significant component in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They often pose the main challenge in day-to-day functions for children with ASD and their families. Research addressing family accommodation behaviors (FAB) in the ASD population is scarce, and associations with the characteristics of the children's behaviors are unclear. This sequential mixed-methods study assessed the correlation between RRBI and FAB within the ASD group to deepen the understanding of parents' subjective experiences regarding their children's RRBI. It included a quantitative phase with a follow-up qualitative study. A total of 29 parents of children with autism (5-13 yr) completed the study questionnaires; a total of 15 also were interviewed regarding their children's RRBI and related FAB. We used the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) to assess RRBI, and the Family Accommodation Scale (FAS-RRB) to assess FAS. In-depth interviews from phenomenological methodology were used in the qualitative phase. We found significant positive correlations between the RRBI and FAB overall and their subscores. Qualitative research supports these findings, adding descriptive examples of the accommodations families make to address the RRBI-related challenges. The results indicate relations between RRBI and FAB and the importance of practically addressing children with autism's RRBI and their parents' experiences. Both affect and are affected by the children's behaviors.
