Parental illness intrusiveness in parents of children with neuromuscular disorders.
Article in Journal of neuromuscular diseases, 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
backgroundPediatric neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) do not only affect patients themselves, they also exert an impact on parents. However, the impact that parents experience on their own personal lives remains largely understudied.
objectiveThis study introduced the construct of parental illness intrusiveness in a NMD population by addressing two objectives. First, to increase our insight in the levels of parental intrusiveness in the NMD population, these parents were compared to parents of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Second, we aimed to increase our understanding of parental illness intrusiveness within the NMD sample by exploring its associations with parental demographical characteristics, parental depressive symptoms and quality of life, and disease- and child characteristics.
methodsA total of 56 parents of youth with a NMD (aged 12-25) and a 2:1 matched sample of parents of youth with T1D completed questionnaires on parental illness intrusiveness, parental depressive symptoms, parental quality of life, and perceived patient physical functioning. For Objective 1, ANOVAs were conducted to compare parents in the NMD sample to parents in the T1D sample. For Objective 2, ANOVAs and correlational analyses were used.
resultsFirst, parents in the NMD sample reported significantly more illness intrusiveness, but not depressive symptoms as compared to parents in the T1D sample. Second, parental illness intrusiveness correlated positively with parental depressive symptoms and perceived patient physical impairment, and negatively with parental quality of life.
conclusionsCompared to parents of a child with T1D, parents in the NMD population may experience more impact of their child's disease in their personal life. Parents of youth with higher physical impairment may be particularly at risk for experiencing difficulties among a wide array of personal life domains.
