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

An observational coding system was developed to track clinical change in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during psychotherapy. The Pediatric Autism Spectrum Therapy Observation System (PASTOS) consists of 23 items divided into 5 subscales and is used to rate child behaviors in individual psychotherapy sessions. Manual-based cognitive behavioral therapy session transcripts of 22 children diagnosed with ASD (IQ > 70) and a concurrent anxiety disorder (M = 9.41 years, SD = 1.56 years) enrolled in a randomized, controlled trial were coded. Results suggested that the PASTOS exhibited promising interrater reliability, internal consistency, convergent validity at post-treatment, and treatment sensitivity. The PASTOS may be a useful tool for studying process and outcome in psychotherapy research on children with ASD.
