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

backgroundThis study examined the paternal role of fathers from families headed by parents with intellectual disabilities, their views and their barriers and facilitators in fulfilling this role.

methodNine fathers of families headed by parents with intellectual disabilities and 14 professionals were interviewed. Transcriptions were coded using a framework analysis.

resultsFathers find their paternal role important and want to fulfil it by providing for the family, doing activities and teaching their child. However, they are hampered in fulfilling their paternal role due to several barriers at the family, professional and societal levels. Facilitators are co-parenting, recognising fathers in parenting support, working relations and supporting parents in roles and rights.

conclusionThe awareness of the importance of the paternal role in parenting should increase. Professionals should support both mothers and fathers in fulfilling their parental roles to improve parental rights and the development and well-being of their children.
