Bridging Parenting Stress and Child Progress: Evaluating a Parent-Mediated Early Intervention for Autism.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings, 2026. 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
introductionParents of children newly diagnosed with autism report higher parenting stress levels than parents of typically developing children. Parent-mediated interventions include parents as interventionists in their child's intervention but often require increased parent effort and time to engage in the intervention. We investigated the influence of a parent-mediated early intervention for autistic children, the Bridge Skill Development Program, on parenting stress and child outcomes.
methodsThirty-eight families of autistic children completed the Parenting Stress Index-4th Edition-Short Form (PSI-4-SF) at pre- and post-intervention. We used paired-samples t tests and linear regressions to examine the effects on intervention outcomes and parenting stress on program outcomes.
resultsControlling for mastered pre-intervention skills, children demonstrated significant improvements in core skills from pre- to post-intervention (t(37) = 6.81, p < .001). Parents reported significant pre- to post-intervention reduction in parental distress (t(37) = - 2.53, p = .008), parent-child dysfunction (t(37) = - 4.03, p < .001), parents' perception of their child's difficult behavior (t(37) = - 1.94, p = .03), and overall parenting stress (t(37) = - 3.34, p < .001). DISCUSSION: Results suggest that families benefitted from this parent-mediated intervention, regardless of pre-intervention parenting stress levels, and intervention participation increased child skill development without increasing parenting stress.
