Towards a multi-level family resilience promotion framework: a meta-analysis of factors associated with family resilience in families of autistic children.
Synthesis in BMC psychology, 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
purposeFamilies raising autistic children usually experience daily difficulties, such as accommodating their children's unique communication patterns and behavioral expressions. Despite these potential challenges, families can demonstrate resilience by showing effective family functioning. However, research on the factors that may influence family resilience in this population remains limited. This meta-analysis aims to identify and synthesize the risk and protective factors associated with family resilience among families with autistic children.
methodsWe conducted a systematic review of studies based on six online English databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and Scopus) and two Chinese databases (CNKI and Wanfang). Combined Pearson correlations were calculated by using the random effects model. A moderator analysis was conducted to explore the impact of moderators such as the study region and study quality. The risk of bias and publication bias were also evaluated.
resultsForty-one studies were examined, where 15 risk and protective factors were identified. Among the 15 factors, 12 are intrapersonal factors (e.g., parental self-efficacy, parental stress, etc.), and 3 are interpersonal factors (social support, family cohesion, and family quality of life). DISCUSSION: Our findings indicate that the strongest correlations with family resilience were observed among interpersonal factors. In addition, we identified a number of salient (e.g., family cohesion) and contextually unique (e.g., uncertainty about autism) risk and protective factors for family resilience. Building on this, we propose a multi-level family resilience conceptual framework that can inform targeted interventions for families raising autistic children.
