Autism Spectrum Disorders in Adulthood-Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThe negative effect of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) persists into adulthood, with impacts on social interactions and occupational development. This article reviews the current status of clinical aspects of ASD in adulthood on the basis of ICD-11.
methodsA selective search of PubMed and other relevant publications on ASD focused on changes in ICD-11 and on prevalence, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
resultsThe global lifetime prevalence of ASD is around 1%. A number of recent studies have concentrated on behaviors termed "camouflaging" (disguising symptoms typical of autism) and "stimming" (use of repetitive self-stimulation), which affect the mental health of those concerned. Standardized diagnostic instruments are available, but the data on validity in adulthood and on applicability are limited. Gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, social closeness, and reciprocity play particularly important roles in diagnosis. German-language treatment manuals lack randomized controlled studies: a validated treatment strategy is currently available only in English. Investigation of the prognosis showed limitation of occupational perspectives (54% unemployment in the study sample) and 2.9 times higher mortality compared to the general population.
conclusionIndividual treatment goals should be set, taking account of any coexisting psychiatric disorders. The process of diagnosis remains clinical, using standardized instruments. Further improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic instruments for adult ASD is desirable.
