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

backgroundFather involvement in parenting has received scarce attention in the disability field. This qualitative study explored the involvement, roles and responsibilities of fathers of individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (aged 5-24 years).

methodsThirteen fathers participated in online, semi-structured interviews. Fathers were asked to describe their involvement in caregiving, their roles and responsibilities, and the factors that had an impact on these domains.

resultsFathers were involved in the direct and indirect care of their child, and provided support for their partner and any siblings, alongside work commitments. A range of individual, interpersonal and contextual factors impacted their involvement and parenting role.

conclusionsFathers play an important role in the lives of children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. Ways in which services could improve the quantity and quality of paternal involvement in parenting are discussed.
