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

abstractFamilies caring for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often encounter persistent stress, stigma, and limited support systems. Despite these challenges, many demonstrate resilience-the capacity to adapt and sustain well-being under adversity. This integrative review synthesizes conceptual frameworks and interventions designed to strengthen family resilience in ASD caregiving. A systematic search across PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Google Scholar (2000-2025) yielded 55 eligible studies. Seven resilience models were identified: protective factors, transactional, ecological systems, CARE, mindfulness-based stress reduction, Triple-A, and strengths-based approaches. Interventions informed by these models produced measurable benefits, including reductions in parental stress and caregiver burden, alongside gains in family cohesion, psychological health, and quality of life. The review underscores the importance of culturally adapted, multidisciplinary, and scalable resilience-building strategies, while calling for standardized evaluation tools and policy integration to ensure sustainable support for families raising children with ASD.
