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.

Abstract
backgroundMental health problems, including depression, are common among parents of individuals with disabilities. Therefore, the current study aimed to identify the prevalence of depression among parents of individuals with disabilities and explore the impact of certain factors on it, such as the type of disability, age of the individual with disabilities, the number of individuals with disabilities in the family, and the gender of the individuals with disabilities. MATERIALS AND
methodsA descriptive research method was utilized in the study. The study participants were 403 parents, including 327 parents of individuals with disabilities (119 fathers and 208 mothers), and 76 parents of individuals without disabilities (34 fathers and 42 mothers) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II).
resultsThe results revealed that the prevalence of depression among parents of individuals with disabilities was 38.5% in general, with higher rates among mothers (45.2%) compared to fathers (26.9%). The study also found that parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) had higher rates of depression (58.5%). Furthermore, the results indicated that the type of disability had a significant impact on parental depression, while factors such as the number of individuals with disabilities within the family, the gender of the individual with a disability, and the age of the individuals with disabilities did not.
conclusionThe study recommends further research on parental depression using larger samples and focusing on specific disability categories to gain a clearer understanding of the situation for different groups of parents.
