Barriers to Receiving Applied Behavior Analysis Services in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Introduction Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is commonly used to treat children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objective of this study is to evaluate barriers to ABA treatment in ASD. Methods A voluntary 51-question survey, including demographics, socioeconomic status, parental assertiveness/self-advocacy, and parent perceptions, was provided to caregivers of children aged one to eight years old diagnosed with ASD. The survey consisted of a series of yes/no, five-point Likert scale, multiple-choice, and text field questions. Results A total of 540 surveys were completed. The median time since ASD diagnosis was three to five years ago. Respondents were identified as receiving ABA (r-ABA) vs. not receiving ABA (n-ABA). Respondents were from Florida (60%; r-ABA = 61.7%; n-ABA = 57.0%), Pennsylvania (18%; r-ABA = 21.3%; n-ABA = 12.8%), Delaware (17%; r-ABA = 11.7%; n-ABA = 26.8%), and New Jersey (5%; r-ABA = 5.3%; n-ABA = 3.4%) (p < 0.001). Caregiver belief in ABA treatment, empowerment, and comfort level were greater for r-ABA (4.20 ± 0.72; 3.19 ± 0.93; 4.35 ± 0.72) compared to n-ABA (4.06 ± 0.83; 2.90 ± 1.00; 4.03 ± 0.91), respectively (mean ± SD). Conclusion Barriers to accessing ABA services are a multifactorial issue. Location, income, education of the caregiver, time since ASD diagnosis for the child, as well as caregiver empowerment, belief in treatment, and level of comfort in accessing services most likely contribute to children with ASD not receiving ABA. Empowering parents on their impact on their child's treatment may improve ABA use.
