The current situation and influencing factors of posttraumatic growth in parents of children with autism: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC psychology, 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
backgroundThere is relatively little research in China on the current situation and influencing factors of PTG of parents of children with autism, and the research conclusions are inconsistent. Quantitative research is difficult to deeply depict the dynamic process of PTG of parents of children with autism, and cannot deeply explore the main factors affecting PTG. However, qualitative research has a unique advantage in this regard.
methods15 parents of autistic children from China participated in the present study. Data collected by one to one in-depth interview which was analyzed by thematic analysis.
resultsFour themes yielded. They are: significant increase in personal strength; significant improvement in interpersonal relationships; continuously deepening life perception; worry and confusion about the child's future. The main influencing factors of PTG of parents of autistic children include the support of significant others and the partners, family income, cultural context, social reality and parents' roles.Parents who experience traumatic events value money more than before, which is different from previous research findings.
conclusionsThe current status and influencing factors of PTG of Chinese parents of autistic children are different from existing research results and have the characteristics of Chinese cultural context. However, more research results are needed to test it.
