Pathways to Psychopathology Among Autistic Adults.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewAutistic adults frequently require treatment of mental health problems. Increased rates of suicidality and diminished quality of life among autistic people may be partially attributable to psychiatric symptoms. Some risk factors for mental health problems in autistic people are likely the same as risk factors present in neurotypical individuals, but unique factors that are specific to neurodivergent individuals, and some even more specific to autistic people, may exist. Understanding pathways from autism to mental health problems could inform intervention efforts at the individual and societal levels. RECENT
findingsWe review a growing body of research identifying risk processes across the affective, cognitive, and social domains. Consistent with the principle of equifinality, different processes appear to independently and jointly lead to heightened risk for the onset of mental health problems. Autistic adults frequently utilize mental healthcare services, and experience heightened risk for chronic impairment as a result of mental health problems. Understanding causal and developmental risk processes in autism should inform personalized treatment. We synthesize extant research on these processes and offer suggestions for addressing them therapeutically and societally.
