Identifying relations between child adaptive functioning, parent empowerment, and advocacy among families of young autistic children.
Article in Research and practice in intellectual and 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
When parents advocate for their offspring with autism, their children tend to receive more services and families report greater wellbeing. Yet, there are many barriers to parent advocacy. It is important to identify constructs that may serve as mechanisms of change to improve parent advocacy. Such mechanisms can be targeted in interventions. In this study, I examined the responses of 40 families of 3- to 5-year-old children with autism from low-resourced communities in the United States. Participants were enrolled in a randomised controlled trial. However, only baseline data were included in this study. Respondents completed measures related to their own empowerment, advocacy activities, and advocacy skills and comfort. Respondents also completed measures about their child's adaptive behavior and social responsiveness. Empowerment positively and significantly related to greater comfort with advocacy and individual advocacy activities. With respect to individual advocacy activities, there was a significant interaction between empowerment and child adaptive behavior. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
