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
Parents of autistic children tend to have higher levels of parenting-related stress, anxiety, and depression than parents of typically developing children. This psychological distress can also affect their ability to take care of their children. In this sense, literature highlights some protective factors. The aim of the present study is to examine the influence of resilience and contextual factors on the state of anxiety, stress, and depression of parents of autistic children. In the present study, contextual factors included attending an association of parents of autistic children, having a trusted person to talk to, having a job outside the home, and having more children. Results showed that resilience had a strong and negative relationship with the three mental states. Nevertheless, contextual variables analyzed related differently with each of the states. In addition, regression analyses showed that resilience predicted a less degree of anxiety, stress, and depression; attending an association of parents of autistic children predicted having less anxiety and depression symptoms; and having a trusted person to talk to predicted less level of depression. It is concluded that promoting resilience in parents of autistic children and providing context protective factors should improve the mental health and quality of life of these families.
