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

purposeKorean immigrant families face complex barriers to accessing services for their children with autism and developmental disabilities due to intersecting cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic factors. However, there is limited information in the literature on strategies to close this gap. This tutorial reports on leveraging an academic-community partnership to establish and sustain a parent support group for Korean immigrant families of children with autism and other developmental disorders.

methodAcademic and community partners worked together to develop family-centered support. The partnership focused on iteratively tailoring support to a localized context to increase knowledge, self-efficacy, and community support for navigating service systems. The development of the parent support group progressed through three phases: (a) establishing two separate support groups led by a parent and a faculty member, (b) merging the groups and building capacity to empower families, and (c) supporting community partners in formalizing the group and securing grant funding for partner-driven initiatives. In all phases, academic partners contributed university resources, whereas community partners provided insider knowledge to create effective programming.

conclusionsThis approach has resulted in a strong, ongoing academic-community partnership that has lasted for more than 2 decades and successfully engaged over 400 families. The lessons learned offer an example of how to reduce barriers to autism-related services by leveraging community strengths and fostering collaboration and by revisiting both the partnership and supports for families to more strongly address community priorities.
