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

Objectives: The current study attempts to explore the work-family conflict experienced by working parents providing primary care for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) in India. Methods: A qualitative research design was utilized. A semi-structured interview of 20 working parents was carried out and was subjected to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results: Based on the responses from the one-on-one interview, it was revealed that working parents experienced overlapping work-related issues, family-related issues, caregiving-related issues, and physical and emotional exhaustion impacting their work, family, and caregiving domains. Conclusions: Working parents of children with NDDs experience work-family conflict in which caregiving duties, work responsibilities, and family demands interfere with one another substantially. Based on their responses, a few caregiver-friendly workplace policies were formulated. The present findings would enable policymakers to formulate caregiver-friendly workplace policies to assist family caregivers.
