Resources and Access Impact Parental Self-Efficacy in Caregivers of Autistic Children in Ontario Canada.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Caregivers of autistic children access many resources to support themselves and their children, but little is known about the impact of these resources on parental self-efficacy. To address this gap, we interviewed 18 caregivers of autistic children in Ontario, Canada about the factors and resources that have impacted their parental self-efficacy. Reflexive thematic analysis revealed four themes: Circle of Support, Mastery Experiences, Self-Care, and System Knowledge and Access. Study results support the tenet that mastery experiences are a primary source of self-efficacy, while also offering new insights into factors that can impact parental self-efficacy. Importantly, System Knowledge and Access was found to have an overarching and pervasive impact on parental self-efficacy such that service barriers and a lack of system transparency decreased caregivers' parental self-efficacy. Policy and clinical implications are discussed, including the importance of clear and transparent processes for caregivers to access services, shorter waitlists, and caregiver-centered supports.
