Pilot Randomized Control Trial of an App-Based CBT Program for Reducing Anxiety in Individuals with ASD without Intellectual Disability.
Trial report in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
This study developed and tested the effectiveness of an app-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program in alleviating anxiety among adolescents and adults with autism without co-occurring intellectual disability. Thirty participants from 15 to 35 years old were randomly assigned to either the intervention or waitlist control group, and self- and caregiver proxy report questionnaires were administered, accompanied by direct behavior observation before and after the intervention period. There was a significant decrease in anxiety level, an increase in positive affect, and a decline in stereotypic behaviors, hyperactivity, noncompliance, and inappropriate speech in proxy reports for the intervention group, compared to the control group. A significant rise in passive response in the direct observation was also seen in the intervention group.
