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
Objective: This study aimed to Predicting Parental Caregiving Burden Based on Sensory Processing Patterns and Social Skills in Individuals with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder. Method: This correlational study recruited a convenience sample of 60 autistic children (aged 5-12 years, IQ > 80) from rehabilitation clinics. Parents completed the Zarit Burden Interview, the Sensory Profile School Companion, and the Gresham and Elliott Social Skills Rating Scale. Data were assessed using Pearson correlation as well as multiple regression analyses. Results: Sensory processing patterns were positively correlated with parental burden (r = 0.52 to 0.58), while social skills were negatively correlated (r = -0.59). Regression analyses identified significant unique predictors. Sensory Sensitivity (β = 0.28, p = 0.03) and Sensory Avoiding (β = 0.31, p = 0.02) were significant positive predictors of burden. In a separate model, lower Social Skills (β = -0.42, p = 0.003) and higher Problem Behavior (β = 0.28, p = 0.02) significantly predicted greater burden, collectively explaining 41.4% of the variance. Conclusion: Specific sensory processing difficulties (sensitivity and avoidance) and social-behavioral factors are significant, unique predictors of parental care burden. Interventions targeting these domains may alleviate caregiver stress and improve family outcomes in autism.
