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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundNeurodevelopmental disorders like autism and ADHD may disrupt family and child functioning. Although well-established psychosocial treatment programs exist, access to these interventions remains limited for many families. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) primarily evaluates the effectiveness of an online psychosocial program (INPSYD) in improving parental domains (stress, coping, and social support). The secondary aim is to assess its effects on children's domains, including behavior, executive functioning, sleep, and family dynamics.

methodsThis study employed a two-arm, mixed-methods RCT design involving families of children diagnosed with autism or ADHD (mean age 9.28 ± 1.6; 81.1% males), (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT06303791). Participants were randomized to either the intervention group or the active control group (a structured, non-therapeutic intervention). Outcomes were collected at baseline (before randomization), at 12 weeks post-randomization, and at 6 months follow-up after randomization.

resultsA total of 82 participants were randomized in February 2024 (42 to the intervention group and 40 to the active control group). At post-intervention, participants in the intervention group scored statistically significantly better than those in the control group on measures of parenting stress (p < .01,

conclusionThe results of this study indicate that the INPSYD parenting program is effective for improving parenting stress, coping skills and children's executive functioning and social-behavioral outcomes in our sample.
