Knowledge about Autism among Graduate Students in Togo.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Graduate students in healthcare or education programs should have adequate knowledge about autism as they could become professionals in that field. However, we were unable to locate any published studies that examined knowledge about autism among graduate students in francophone sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, the goal of this study was to describe knowledge about autism among 254 graduate psychology, medical, and education students in Togo. Results suggested that only 5% of graduate students had good knowledge about autism. Although graduate psychology students achieved higher scores than others, all subgroups had inadequate knowledge about specific characteristics of autism. The findings highlight the necessity of passing public policies to promote autism research and training in local universities in Togo.
