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
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a life-long disorder. Raising a child with autism might be a stressful experience and affects life satisfaction level of mothers. However, mothers may also experience positive changes. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the relationship between quiet ego, perceived social support, life satisfaction, and posttraumatic growth among mothers of Turkish children diagnosed with ASD. One hundred and forty-four (144) mothers of children diagnosed with ASD participated in this study from Turkey. They completed Demographic Information Form, Quiet Ego Scale (QES), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Pearson Correlation Analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between variables, Multiple Regression and mediation analyses were conducted to discover the predictors of posttraumatic growth level. Perceived social support, quiet ego, life satisfaction and posttraumatic growth were found to be related to each other. Perceived social support, quiet ego, life satisfaction were significant predictors of posttraumatic growth. In addition, perceived social support and quiet ego played mediating role in the relationship between life satisfaction and posttraumatic growth levels. This study might be considered an important study as it is the first study to examine mothers of children with ASD in Turkey in the context of these variables. It is thought that considering the variables of the study, such as quiet ego and perceived social support, in interventions may have positive effects on the life satisfaction of mothers of children diagnosed with ASD, and the positivity that can be experienced in this period, which is associated with many negative variables, may also facilitate post-traumatic growth development.
