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

introductionAdults living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can experience many factors that may impact their everyday lives. Striving for optimal health and enduring a healthy lifestyle comes with the ability to access appropriate healthcare services, yet adults with ASD have unmet healthcare needs. The barriers and enablers of healthcare access for adults with ASD remain unclear. We will conduct a systematic review to explore what is currently known about healthcare access for adults with ASD, this will determine the level and appropriateness of access to healthcare services to better support the lives of adults with ASD. METHOD AND ANALYSIS: The systematic review will report on all studies that include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs that consider healthcare access for adults with ASD. We will search 5 databases: EBSCOhost, Scopus, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) will be used to assess quality of articles and the Cochrane RoB 2.0 Tool will be used to assess for bias. Clarifying the evidence in this area will be important for future research directions when developing and piloting health interventions for researchers and healthcare clinicians in the field. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: There are no human participants, data, or tissue being directly studied for the purposes of the review; therefore, ethics approval and consent to participate is not applicable. REGISTRATION AND STATUS: PROSPERO 2018 CRD42018116093.
