Mindful Parenting in Mothers of Children in Childhood and Adolescence With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Identifying Possible Antecedents.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 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
purposeMindful parenting is a set of parenting practices based on the application of mindfulness to the context of the parent-child relationship that is relevant for parents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children (Beer in Mindfulness 4(2): 102–112, 2013). Interest in the identification of correlates of mindful parenting is growing because it could allow to account for variability in parenting practices. Self-determination theory provides a relevant theoretical framework to explain this variability; for this reason, this study examines the relationship between autonomous and controlled motivation, resilience, and mindful parenting in parents with ASD children and adolescents.
methods73 mothers of ASD children in childhood, and 67 mothers of ASD children in adolescence completed measures of the Parenting Motivation Scale (Jungert in J Child Family Stud 24(7): 1932–1942, 2014), the Resilience Scale (Girtler in Clin Exp Rheumatol 28(5): 669–678, 2010), and the Bangor Mindful Parenting Scale (Jones in APAPsycTests 10:514, 2014). Multi-group analysis of a structural equation model showed that the structural associations weren’t invariant across the two groups.
resultsThe results suggest that in both groups autonomous motivation is associated with resilience and resilience is associated with mindful parenting. Furthermore, in the younger age group, autonomous motivation is positively associated with mindful parenting, while controlled motivation is negatively associated.
conclusionUsing SDT, this study provides relevant and innovative data for research on mindful parenting in families with ASD children, identifying some possible antecedents at different developmental stages of the children.
