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
Past studies show that character strengths matter for well-being outcomes in typically developing students. However, there is scarce evidence on the psychological benefits of these strengths among students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study aims to examine the associations of humanity-oriented character strengths (i.e. social intelligence, love, and kindness) with internalizing and externalizing problems among children with ASD. 304 caregivers of children with ASD (72.7% boys) completed a survey on demographic information, humanity-oriented character strengths, parental awareness of child's emotions, internalizing and externalizing problems, and repetitive behaviors. Results of structural equation modeling demonstrated that when controlling for the effects of other strengths and covariates (e.g. repetitive behaviors and parental awareness of child's emotions), social intelligence and kindness negatively predicted internalizing behaviors while social intelligence negatively predicted externalizing problems. This study corroborates existing evidence on the psychological rewards associated with humanity-oriented character strengths among individuals with ASD.
