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
backgroundThe transition to primary school is often a complex and uncertain time for autistic children and their families. Understanding how best to develop school readiness and support transition to primary school for autistic children is essential. School readiness and transition planning are influenced by a range of personal and contextual factors, and it is important to understand the perspectives of the various stakeholders involved in the transition process.
methodsA qualitative exploration employing focus groups and interviews was undertaken with early intervention (EI) staff (n = 45) and parents (n = 18) across Australia to understand their perspectives on school readiness and the transition to primary school.
resultsThematic analysis identified four emerging themes facilitating transition including: 1) building the child; 2) building the parents; 3) building the receiving school; and, 4) connecting the system.
conclusionFindings highlight the need to consider school readiness and transition planning from a holistic perspective, ensuring clear, collaborative and ongoing communication between parents, teachers and EI staff, using a strength-based approach, and individualizing transition planning.
