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: Parenting styles shape behavioral outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet their influence in low-resource settings, such as India, remains underexplored. This study investigates how parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) correlate with behavioral outcomes in children with ASD in India, and examines demographic influences. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 82 parents of children with ASD (aged 3-17 years) at a tertiary care hospital. Parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) were assessed using the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ), and behavioral problems were measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Results: Authoritative parenting predominated (mean score: 57.33 ± 9.55), linked to fewer behavioral challenges, while authoritarian ( Conclusion: Authoritative parenting mitigates behavioral challenges in children with ASD, unlike authoritarian and permissive styles, which exacerbate difficulties. These findings underscore the need for culturally tailored interventions such as workshops addressing stigma, resource scarcity, and language barriers to promote adaptive caregiving in India. Policymakers should integrate parental education into ASD care to enhance family well-being.
