Leveraging emotional intelligence to alleviate mental health: protocol of a cluster randomised controlled trial among parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders in Bangladesh.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundParents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders often experience high levels of stress that impact their mental health, yet few interventions focus on their well-being. To address this gap, we developed a mental health intervention based on emotional intelligence (EI), designed for delivery in healthcare settings. We hypothesise that enhancing EI can reduce parenting stress and improve psychological well-being. This study aims to assess the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and feasibility of this EI-based intervention in Bangladesh. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation study will include a cluster randomised controlled trial, an implementation analysis and an economic evaluation. Eight child development centres will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to intervention and waitlist control groups. A total of 480 parents (mothers and fathers) will be recruited. The intervention consists of interactive sessions on EI skills, supported by personal diaries and a mobile app. Data will be collected at baseline and 12 weeks postintervention using validated tools to assess EI, parenting stress, psychological well-being and other mental health outcomes. Implementation will be evaluated using mixed methods to assess feasibility, acceptability and fidelity. Cost-effectiveness will be determined through a cost-utility analysis of direct and indirect costs. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval was granted by the Institutional Review Board of Bangladesh Medical University (BSMMU/2022/10733). Written informed consent will be obtained at each stage of data collection and intervention. Findings will be disseminated through open-access publications, plain-language summaries, academic conferences, community workshops and policy briefs. Data will be shared in open-access platforms to inform mental health strategies in low-resource settings globally. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06166550.
