The availability of services for children with autism spectrum disorder in a Saudi population.
Article in Neurosciences (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess the perceived availability of various services provided by Autism centers in our region.
methodsA cross sectional study was conducted from March to May 2015 involving health care workers at various governmental and private autism centers in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A structured 30-item questionnaire was designed to assess their demographics, training, experience, and the availability of various services at their centers.
resultsTwelve autism centers were included and 136 employees participated in the study. Seventy-eight (57%) participants indicated that their center lacked important and essential services. These included programs for home care and outreach (59%), family recognition incentives and rewards (51%), integrative educational programs (39%), and occupational therapy (16%). Access for outside referral for these services was available in only 24% of cases. They cited several major obstacles in providing adequate service including; family involvement (24%), child`s behavioral problems (13%), increased number of students (9%), and work environment and space (5%).
conclusionSignificant deficiencies exist in the availability of autism services in our region. Access for referrals for important services is also limited. We identified several areas that can be targeted to help develop, promote, and improve the provided services for children with autism spectrum disorder.
