The influence of parent and couple characteristics on parental responsivity during parent-child interactions in families of children with fragile X syndrome.
Article in Research in developmental disabilities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundParents of children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) experience elevated levels of parenting stress due to the challenges associated with raising a child with significant disabilities. Biological mothers of children with FXS are at an increased genetic risk for experiencing mental health challenges. Parental mental health challenges and stress are often associated with reduced marital cohesion and satisfaction, which may spill over and negatively affect the parent-child relationship for both mothers and fathers.
aimThe current study examined relationships among characteristics of parents, characteristics of couples, and parent behavior (i.e., responsivity and behavior management) during mother-child and father-child dyadic interactions in 23 families of young boys with FXS.
resultsWe found that mothers and fathers used similar rates of responsive behaviors, but that fathers used higher rates of behavior management strategies compared to mothers. Parenting stress predicted lower rates of parental responsivity and higher rates of behavior management, but these effects were only marginally significant. Couples satisfaction was not found to contribute to either parental responsivity or behavior management, despite the significant relationship between parenting stress and couples satisfaction.
conclusionOverall, this study suggests that reducing parenting stress may lead to more responsive parent-child interactions, and equally so for both mothers and fathers.
