Impact of Factors Associated with Promoting Family Functioning in Fathers on Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Article in JMA journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: Raising a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder can present significant challenges for families and is a known risk factor for increased parental stress. Successfully addressing these challenges by promoting family functioning is considered crucial, with particular recent emphasis on optimal paternal involvement. Interventions targeting fathers can help foster stronger family relationships, reduce stress, and enhance overall family functioning, which in turn supports the growth and neurodevelopment of the child. The present study examined the impact of fathers' successful childcare behaviors and attitudes on the family, specifically focusing on children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Methods: An online survey was conducted with couples who had children aged 2 to 12 years diagnosed with or suspected of having a neurodevelopmental disorder. The survey explored the characteristics of fathers considered successful in parenting, assessing their effect on the child's neurodevelopment and the partner's parenting stress. Structural models were then constructed to quantify these relationships. Results: The survey results indicated that fathers who effectively managed childcare responsibilities indirectly contributed to reducing the child's behavioral problems by significantly alleviating the spouse's parenting stress. Conclusions: Fathers may play an important role in indirectly mitigating behavioral issues in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Fostering self-awareness in fathers and helping them build positive relationships with their partners appear to be essential components of effective parenting. These aspects should be incorporated into father training programs to better support family dynamics and, by extension, the growth of children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
