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

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs during the developmental period and affects overall cognitive, emotional, social, and physical health. Comprehensive screening for ASD can assist in diagnosis and intervention planning. The primary aim of this study was to develop and validate a screening tool for ASD based on the diagnostic guidelines of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). The Social-Emotional Rating Scale for Autism Spectrum Disorder (SERA) was validated with 504 participants, including healthcare professionals who have worked with individuals with ASD and parents/primary caregivers of children with ASD. A confirmatory factor analysis on 78 participants with ASD and 27 participants without ASD indicated a good fit for the data. As an intervention planning tool, the developed SERA appears promising for identifying a person's social-emotional functioning level in line with autistic characteristics.
