Screening Options in Autism Telediagnosis: Examination of TAP, M-CHAT-R, and DCI Concordance and Predictive Value in a Telediagnostic Model.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Tele-assessment of autism in early childhood has increased. However, it is unclear how autism screening tools (M-CHAT-R, DCI) function as part of tele-assessment and relate to a commonly used tele-assessment instrument, the TAP. 361 families from a clinically referred sample of children (mean age: 27.63 months, sd = 4.86 months) completed the M-CHAT-R and DCI prior to a tele-assessment visit utilizing the TAP. Data was collected on demographic background, measure scores, and diagnostic outcome. No significant differences in measure scores or diagnostic findings emerged in age at referral, age group, age at diagnosis, or child sex, ethnicity, or racial background. The M-CHAT-R and DCI correlated strongly and positively. Older age was associated with lower risk scores on screening instruments. Children with autism had significantly higher scores on all screener and subdomain scores, with the exception of DCI Behavior. Subdomains of the DCI emerged as the strongest predictor of diagnostic outcome. Both the DCI total score and the M-CHAT-R significantly related to diagnostic outcome and TAP score in this tele-assessment model, regardless of child age or sex. Findings also support use of the DCI for children under 24 months of age.
