Diagnostic Challenges of High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder in Females.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In the last decade, research about distinct female phenotypes in autism spectrum disorders has gained momentum. These patients are often undiagnosed since they do not meet the diagnostic criterion. And since the current standardized instruments are based on the same criterion, these assessments may often lead to false negative results. In clinical settings these patients have a distinct presentation, challenges, and impairments. These findings are useful in understanding, early identification, and effectively treating these individuals. We present a case series to highlight these issues and summarize the recent advances in research.
