Structural, Institutional, and Interpersonal Racism: Calling for Equity in Autism Research and Practice.
Review in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Disparities in autism research and practices based on race and ethnicity are evident across many outcomes and life course stages. However, most of the research has focused on outlining differences and not the underlying systemic inequities driving these disparities. In this conceptual paper, we aim to shift the focus by outlining mechanisms of structural racism within the institutions of science, healthcare, and residential segregation and educational systems in the United States (U.S.). We argue that these and other forms of institutional racism constitute structural racism that are influencing the racial and ethnic disparities we see in autism services and care. For each of these institutions, we identify institutional racism related to autism and offer an example of how it shapes interpersonal racism and adverse outcomes, including misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, unequal access to educational services, and differential treatment in clinical encounters. We then provide anti-racism approaches in autism research and practice for each of these institutions that addresses institutional and interpersonal racism shaping autism inequities among racial and ethnic minorities. We conclude with a call to action to clinicians, researchers, and others to prioritize and disrupt the impacts of structural, institutional, and interpersonal racism through targeted anti-racism approaches.
