Experiences of siblings of individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
Article in International journal of developmental disabilities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Several studies have focused on the impact of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) on parents, with very few exploring the experiences of siblings in the Accra Metropolis of Ghana. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of siblings of individuals with ASD. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight (8) siblings of individuals with ASD who were purposively selected through parents in some support groups. Findings indicate that siblings largely have concerns about understanding the nature of ASD in addition to challenges with communication with their sibling with ASD. However, they used adaptive coping strategies to effectively deal with their challenges and had plans for the future of their sibling with ASD. These findings offer insights into the experiences of siblings and the appropriate support to be given to them by parents and professionals.
