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
The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of an autism e-screener, Paisley, when utilized in a clinical research setting via a tablet application. The Paisley application used a series of play-based activities, all of which incorporated varying aspects of the ASD-PEDS. Participants included children (18-36 months; n = 198) referred for evaluation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and community providers (n = 66) with differing levels of familiarity with ASD. Community providers administered the Paisley application to children who then completed a comprehensive psychological evaluation. Based on comprehensive evaluation, 75% of children met diagnostic criteria for ASD. Paisley scores were significantly higher for children diagnosed with ASD (15.06) versus those not diagnosed (9.34). The newly determined cutoff ASD-PEDS cutoff score of 13 had significantly higher specificity and positive predictive value than the originally proposed cutoff of 11. Results support the use of Paisley by community providers to identify autism risk in toddlers. Limitations and strengths of the work, as well as opportunities for future clinical validation, are described.
