Assessment of home environment for autistic individuals: a literature review of the existing tools.
Review in International journal of developmental disabilities, 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
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and its prevalence is estimated at 1% worldwide. The home environment can influence activities and roles for autistic individuals, however there are limited assessments that focus on the home environment for this population. Purpose: To identify existing assessment tools of home environment for autistic individuals in the literature. Methods: We explored five databases. Initial search on databases was made in 2019 and updated in 2022. Documents selection was made in two phases: 1) title and abstract screening, 2) full-text reading of selected publications. The included studies were analyzed. Results: We identified seven home environment-related assessment tools that can be used with the autistic population. Most of the tools included few items related to the non-human environment and do not include specific elements of the environment (e.g.: details about sensory stimuli or assessment of the layout). Six of them are design for children or youths and only one out seven is specific to autistic people. Conclusions: The identified tools do not allow for a detailed assessment of the non-human environment of autistic individuals only the identification of environment-related difficulties. More research and the development of new tools are needed to improve it.
