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

backgroundThis study aimed to provide insight into the support needs of siblings (6-12 years) of children with intellectual disabilities and/or visual impairments, and in the match with sibling support resources that are available in the Netherlands and Belgium.

methodSemi-structured interviews about support needs were conducted with 13 siblings. A grey document review identified 255 organisations and 134 books, texts and media sources that offer (indirect) support to siblings. Thematic analysis was conducted on the interview data and found resources.

resultsSiblings described diverse challenges and support needs, such as social and emotional support, receiving quality time and attention, and contact with peers. The found resources were fragmented, mainly focused on a broader target group, and only partially matched siblings' needs. Some support needs, such as learning to deal with their siblings' behaviour, were insufficiently addressed.

conclusionThese insights can help better align sibling support needs with available resources.
