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
purposePediatric caregiver stress specific to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with adverse outcomes, including reduced mental and physical well-being and family functioning. The Pediatric Inventory for Parents, short-form (PIP-SF), is a self-report measure of pediatric stress in caregivers of children with chronic health conditions. This study aims to fill a gap in the empirical literature by evaluating the psychometric properties of the PIP-SF within the previously excluded pediatric population of caregivers of children with ASD.
methodsParticipants were a national sample of 363 female caregivers of children diagnosed with ASD. They completed the PIP-SF and measures related to general stress, anxiety, gratitude, perceptions of child vulnerability, and ASD characteristics.
resultsThe PIP-Frequency and PIP-Difficulty demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency. Concurrent and convergent validity were evidenced by statistically significant positive correlations between the PIP-SF and key scales. Supporting discriminant validity, the scales evidenced nonsignificant correlations with a scale measuring gratitude. Scores on both scales did not significantly differ between caregivers of younger versus older children; caregivers of children with higher ASD characteristics. reported statistically significantly higher PIP-SF scores than those with lower characteristics. A unidimensional model for both scales met criteria for good fit.
conclusionsResults of the current study provide preliminary evidence supporting sufficient validity and reliability of the PIP-SF among female caregivers of children with ASD.
