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.

2 · The registry

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

To assess how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) influences stress levels in parents of children with special needs, while also exploring the relationship between therapy intensity and possible influencing factors. We followed PRISMA guidelines and searched PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library through June 15, 2025, for randomized controlled trials. We defined PICOS explicitly as Population (parents of children with special needs), Intervention (CBT), Comparator (any control condition), Outcomes (parental stress measured by validated scales), and Study design (randomized controlled trials). Continuous outcomes were pooled as standardized mean differences (SMDs; differences in parental stress scores between the intervention and control groups). A three-level random-effects meta-analytic model was fitted to account for dependent effect sizes; heterogeneity was assessed with I
