1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRaising adolescents with intellectual disabilities in Thailand is challenging. Whilst some mothers show resilience, limited understanding exists of the factors within these cultural contexts that contribute to resilience. This qualitative study explores experiences of mothers caring for adolescent children with intellectual disabilities in Thailand.

methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 Thai mothers of adolescents with intellectual disabilities at the Rajanukul Institute in Thailand. Interview transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, guided by Braun and Clarke (2006).

resultsSix themes were developed, detailing mothers' resilience journeys: becoming a mother of a child with intellectual disabilities, finding my way, navigating challenges, support systems, holding on to faith, and forward-thinking strategies.

conclusionThis study reveals that resilience amongst mothers is a dynamic process shaped by personal attributes, coping strategies, social support, and cultural and spiritual beliefs. These findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive interventions to strengthen parental resilience.
