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
The present study examined the effects of the Psychotraining-Based Communication Workshop Program on family functioning and psychological resilience among parents of children with special needs. This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of communication training therapy for parents of children with special needs. Participants were assigned to intervention (N = 21) and control (N = 21) groups. The workshop was delivered to parents of children with developmental delays over 6 weeks, consisting of two sessions per week lasting 45-60 min each, and was conducted by health and education professionals using a family-centered multidisciplinary approach. The Turkish versions of the Perceived Family Functioning Scale (PFFS) and Adult Psychological Resilience Scale (APRS) were administered in the pre- and post-tests. Following the workshop delivered by psychiatric nursing staff, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in family communication and positive affect (4.365 compared with 3.902, effect size = 1.02, p < 0.001), Conflicts and negative affect (1.881 compared with 2.470, effect size = 0.78, p = 0.002), and the total adult psychological resilience score (4.389 compared with 3.921, effect size = 0.74, p = 0.003). Significant increases were also observed in relational resources (4.357 compared with 4.064, effect size = 0.46, p = 0.047), cultural and contextual resources (4.429 compared with 3.743, effect size = 0.76, p = 0.002), and family resources (4.514 compared with 3.886, effect size = 0.85, p = 0.001).
conclusionsThe psychoeducation-based communication workshop program was effective in improving family communication and psychological resilience among parents of children with special needs.The findings of this study suggest that family-centered psychoeducational programs may be beneficial and could contribute to nursing practice. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Parents of children with special needs frequently experience challenges in family functioning and reduced psychological resilience because of long-term caregiving responsibilities. • Psychoeducational interventions may improve psychosocial outcomes; however, evidence regarding communication-based programs targeting both family functioning and psychological resilience remains limited. WHAT IS NEW: • This psychotraining-based communication workshop significantly improved family communication and positive affect while reducing conflicts and negative emotions among parents of children with special needs. • The intervention strengthened overall psychological resilience, particularly relational, cultural-contextual, and family resources, supporting the integration of communication-based psychoeducation into family-centered nursing practice.
