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
purposeThis study aimed to examine the associations between family dynamics and parenting experiences among parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs).
methodA cross-sectional survey was conducted using convenience sampling among 341 parents of children with NDDs recruited from special education institutions and public healthcare facilities. Data were collected via an online questionnaire comprising the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, Parental Bonding Instrument, Family Adaptation Partnership Growth Affection Resolve Questionnaire, and Family Closeness and Adaptability Scale. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression were performed to examine interrelationships among variables. Multicollinearity was assessed using variance inflation factors.
resultA total of 341 parents participated, reporting on children primarily diagnosed with developmental delay (DD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and intellectual disabilities (ID). Correlation analyses revealed significant negative relationships between parenting stress and parenting style (r = -0.626, p < 0.01), family functioning (r = -0.831, p < 0.01), and family setting (r = -0.792, p < 0.01). Hierarchical regression analyses demonstrated that parenting style (β = -0.159 to -0.157, p < 0.001), family functioning (β = -0.746, p < 0.001), and family setting (β = - 0.733, p < 0.001) were significant negative predictors of parenting stress. A suppression effect was observed for parenting efficacy, which emerged as a significant positive predictor (β = 0.097 to 0.182, p < 0.01) only after accounting for family-level variables. VIF values remained below 2.5 across all models, confirming the absence of multicollinearity.
conclusionFamily functioning and family environment were associated with lower levels of parenting stress among parents of children with NDDs. The suppression effect observed for parenting efficacy suggests that its association with parenting stress may be influenced by the broader family context. Longitudinal studies are warranted to clarify the temporal and directional relationships among these factors.
