Effects of Medical Cannabis Treatment for Autistic Children on Family Accommodation: An Open-Label Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesParents of autistic children often face behavioral and participation challenges of their children, leading them to make accommodations to maintain a stable daily family routine. These family accommodations (FA) involve adapting family routines, actively engaging with the child's support needs and symptoms, and avoiding specific situations.
methodsThis open-label, mixed-methods study investigated the impact of CBD-rich cannabis treatment on FA. In the quantitative phase, analyses included 44 parents (from 87 initially recruited) who had complete FAS-RRB data at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. In the following qualitative phase, 15 parents from the full sample participated in semi-structured interviews.
resultsQuantitative results showed reductions in FA frequency and parental distress at 3 and 6 months. Qualitative findings revealed positive changes in family routines, enhanced well-being, and improved parental engagement in meaningful activities and social interactions.
conclusionsThis study provides preliminary evidence that CBD-rich cannabis treatment may reduce family accommodation (FA) and parental distress, while improving family routines and well-being. However, given the open-label design and observed adverse events and withdrawals, the findings should be interpreted with caution.
