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
Parenting style adopted by parents is believed to impact parental well-being and development of children including those with intellectual disabilities. While there is large body of literature on parenting style adopted by parents raising children with intellectual disabilities, especially in the western context, limited attempt has been made to understand parental styles and their relationships with the mental health of parents. In this study, a total of 200 parents raising children with intellectual disabilities completed the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale (DASS-21) and the Financial Stress Scale. The instrument was subjected to correlations and hierarchical multiple regressions. The results showed contribution of mental health in the variance in parenting style. For instance, general stress, anxiety and financial stress made significant contribution in the variance in authoritarian parenting style. Also, general stress, anxiety and financial stress made significant contribution in the variance in authoritative parenting style. Additionally, a relationship was found between permissive parenting, depression, general stress and financial stress. The study concludes with a recommendation for targeted parenting and mental health training for parents raising children with intellectual disabilities in Ghana.
