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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by qualitative difficulties in interaction and communication, as well as hyper- or hypo-responsivity to sensory input, which can substantially challenge the formation of mother-child attachment. This study aimed to identify attachment levels among mothers of preschool-aged children with ASD and to delineate the attachment processes associated with those levels, with the goal of developing a grounded theory explaining these processes.

methodsA two-step study using methodological triangulation was conducted. In the first quantitative study, the attachment level of 64 mothers of children with ASD, under the age of 7 years in Korea, were measured. And 12 were selected for a second study using the grounded theory method of Strauss & Corbin.

resultsA significant attachment difference (

conclusionsThe results of this suggest that it is necessary to develop a personalized intervention strategy and to provide proper nursing by considering the attachment process and type of mothers of children with ASD.
