1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Autistic children and adolescents frequently experience emotion dysregulation, or difficulties with appropriately modifying their emotional reactions. Caregivers of autistic teens frequently seek psychotherapy support for navigating challenges associated with emotion dysregulation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to clinical services became limited, with interventions halted or transitioned into a telehealth format. Methods: This study evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a telehealth adaptation to an existing intervention for emotion dysregulation for children and teens with autism, Regulating Together. A within-subjects trial was conducted for Child (ages 8-12) and Teen groups (ages 13-18). The trial consisted of a 5-week-control lead-in period, a 5-week-intervention, and 5-and 10-weeks-post-intervention follow-ups. Results: Twenty-eight youth with ASD + ED (n=13 Child and n=15 Teens, 71% male) participated. We observed a 93% retention rate across both groups. Improvements were found in reactivity, irritability, emotion and behavioral regulation, and flexibility immediately post-intervention and 10-weeks post-intervention in both groups. Additional improvements in dysphoria, cognitive regulation, and emotional control were observed in teens. Discussion: Our results suggest promising improvements in ED through telehealth delivery of an emotion regulation intervention in autistic children and adolescents, along with possible improvements in accessibility of this intervention.
