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
backgroundCaring for a child with ASD presents challenges for parents, affecting their health. Spiritual health can enhance health-promoting behaviors. This study examined the relationship between spiritual health and health-promoting behaviors in parents of children with ASD. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 178 Iranian parents of children with ASD in 2024 using convenience sampling. Data were collected using demographic, spiritual health, and health-promoting lifestyle questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, independent
resultsIn this study, 46.6% of the parents were aged 30-40, and 89.9% of them were female. Doctors and health professionals (1.55) and the Internet (1.33) were the most common sources of health information for parents. The mean score of health-promoting behaviors for the parents of the study was 131.60 ± 24.42. The mean spiritual health of the parents was 86.14 ± 19.06. Spiritual health was low in 1.7% of the mothers, moderate in 71.3%, and high in 27%.
conclusionThis study found a significant relationship between spiritual health and health-promoting behaviors in parents of children with ASD. Parents with higher levels of spiritual health were more likely to engage in activities that support their overall health. However, a large number of parents report only a moderate level of spiritual health, which highlights the need for targeted interventions. Strategies such as spiritual counseling, spirituality-based programs, and support groups can help improve the spiritual health and health of these parents.
