Lived Experiences of Teens and Adults in North America Who Grew Up With a Sibling Diagnosed With Prader Willi Syndrome.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 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
backgroundPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex disorder with severe behavioural symptoms that affects the entire family. Relatively little research has focused on the lived experiences of siblings growing up in this unique family environment.
methodSemi-structured interviews were performed with 25 siblings of individuals with PWS from North America. Participants reflected on their experiences including interpersonal relationships, impacts on well-being, coping, and relationship with food.
resultsUsing inductive thematic analysis, we identified several themes: (a) emotion and well-being impacts, (b) impacts on their relationship with food, and (c) relational/social issues. Positive aspects of their family experience and impacts on job path were identified. Key coping resources were highlighted.
conclusionsThis study can inform more family-oriented support efforts in PWS care models to include sibling support. The findings suggest sibling support should focus on addressing difficult emotional experiences, problematic eating behaviours, and seeking connection with other siblings with similar experiences.
