How Do Parents Experience Overnight Respite? Parent-Reported Outcomes in Families of Children With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
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
backgroundOvernight respite care can be a lifeline for parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We explored the multifaceted parent-reported outcomes of respite and potential demographic variations related to this broad impact.
methodParents (n = 178) reported respite effects on their personal well-being, spousal relationships, family relationships, spiritual needs and ability to complete other activities, which correspond to five subscales of the novel Respite Impact Survey.
resultsMost parents agreed/strongly agreed with 22 of 23 items, particularly related to rest, recharge and relationships. Univariate ANOVAs revealed differences with small-to-moderate effect sizes based on child sex (η
conclusionParents endorsed many benefits of overnight respite, with few differentiating effects observed within this sample. However, participants represented a relatively homogeneous and comparatively affluent group of parents connected to a single respite provider. Future research should include more racially and socioeconomically diverse samples to better understand how respite experiences may vary across families.
