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

Positive parenting experience can serve as a key psychological resource for parents and caretakers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). However, there has been limited evidence on the psychometric validity of measures to assess this construct, especially in non-Western contexts. This research explored the psychometric properties of two subscales in the Kansas Positive Contributions Subscales (i.e. happiness and fulfilment and strength and family closeness) in Chinese parents of children with ASD. Results of confirmatory factor analyses showed that the scores from the modified two-factor model of positive parenting experience had the best fit. Both subscales had moderate reliability coefficients. Furthermore, happiness and fulfilment and strength and family closeness were linked to lower levels of child's externalizing behaviors. This study contributes to scarce evidence on measuring positive parenting experience in non-Western cultural contexts.
