Does family confidence bridge child functioning and caregiver burden in early intervention?
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEnhancing caregivers' confidence and competence in early childhood intervention is a priority, focusing on collaboration between professionals and families to improve family well-being and quality of life. Caregiver burden is crucial in early childhood intervention support services aimed at promoting family well-being and functioning. However, contextual factors and child-related variables may affect caregiver burden. We examined the relationships between family confidence, caregiver burden, and child functioning.
methodA total of 169 Spanish families receiving early intervention services participated in a cross-sectional survey study. Data were analyzed applying single and multiple mediation analyses to examine the influence of socio-demographic variables on family confidence and caregiver burden, as well as the mediating role of family confidence between child functioning and caregiver burden.
resultsThe study found that child functioning does not directly impact caregiver burden but significantly influences it through family confidence. Confidence in helping the child was a relevant mediator of the impact of child functioning on caregiver burden. However, confidence in helping the family was a mediator across all dimensions of caregiver burden.
conclusionsHigher family confidence predicts lower caregiver burden in early childhood intervention. Confidence in helping family functioning is key to mitigating the negative impact of child functioning on caregiver burden. Practical implications of these findings suggest that early childhood intervention services should focus on capacity-building through collaborative and family-centered practices, empowering families to enhance their confidence, and reduce caregiver burden.
