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

purposeParenting stress impairs both caregivers' health and children's long-term well-being. This study aimed to assess parenting stress among caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and analyze its associated factors.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Lianyungang, eastern China. The participants were caregivers of children aged 2-14 years. The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) was used to evaluate parenting stress. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression.

resultsThe average score of parenting stress was 44.40 ± 12.22. Caregivers whose children were older than 6 years (B = 2.376, 95% CI: 0.424-4.329, p < 0.05), exhibited stereotyped behaviors (B = 4.207, 95% CI: 1.504-6.909, p < 0.01), and had mealtime behavior problems (B = 0.236, 95% CI: 0.139-0.333, p < 0.001) had higher levels of parenting stress. In addition, caregivers who were not employed (B = 3.182, 95% CI: 0.586-5.779, p < 0.05) and those with high public stigma (B = 0.534, 95% CI: 0.389-0.678, p < 0.001) had higher levels of parenting stress. However, female caregivers (B = -3.580, 95% CI: -6.195--0.964, p < 0.01) and caregivers with good family function (B = -0.383, 95% CI: -0.760--0.006, p < 0.05) and social support (B = -1.228, 95% CI: -1.734--0.723, p < 0.001) had lower levels of parenting stress.

conclusionsSupport to improve family function and social support, as well as reduce public stigma may help to alleviate parenting stress in caregivers of children with ASD.
