Commentary: What's so special about girls on the autism spectrum? - a commentary on Kaat et al. (2020).
Article in Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, and allied disciplines, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This commentary on the multisite integrative analysis of sex differences on gold standard measures of autism by Kaat and colleagues (2020) provides perspective on its contributions to the debate surrounding sex differences in autism. While this study reports important findings regarding sex differences using currently available tools and samples, innovative research approaches are needed to develop new tools and methodologies to improve our understanding of how autism manifests across the gender spectrum. This includes developing meaningful research partnerships with autistic colleagues, actively recruiting more diverse samples, and augmenting conventional tools and methodologies with new, and equally rigorous, approaches.
