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
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate parental knowledge, acceptability, and involvement in the use of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for the treatment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Jordan. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 157 parents of children with ASD who had been exposed to ABA. Data were collected using self-administered paper-based and online questionnaires, which included demographic characteristics and instruments measuring parental knowledge, involvement, and treatment acceptability. Results: The majority of participants were mothers (73.5%). A significant proportion of participants' children exhibited problematic behaviors, with aggression being the most common issue (34.3%). Parental acceptability of ABA was generally high, with 96.4% reporting moderate to high acceptance. The study also found a positive correlation between ABA knowledge, acceptability, and parental involvement in ABA programs. Conclusion: Enhancing parents' knowledge of autism and ABA is crucial for effective treatment. To increase parental acceptance and involvement in their child's ABA, practitioners should implement educational programs that provide parents with a deeper understanding of ABA principles and their practical benefits.
