Vocational rehabilitation of adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorder: a review.
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
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), face several difficulties entering the workforce; yet when provided with appropriate support programs, can be expected to benefit from vocational rehabilitation and become independent. In this systematic literature review, supported employment programs and interventions related to the training and enhancement of vocational skills in adolescents and young adults with ASD were identified and evaluated. PubMed, ERIC, Science Direct, and Scholar Google databases were systematically searched from 2015 up to March 2021. The review findings suggest that young people with ASD who receive special training in high school and participate in supported employment programs appear to develop social and vocational skills, succeed in appropriate and competitive employment, and have a better quality-of-life (QOL). The review revealed that 16 relevant peer-reviewed studies implemented supported employment programs such as Project Search-ASD (PS-ASD), or a specific curriculum, both of which appear to be effective in teaching work-related, social, and QOL skills. Eight studies conducted a maintenance phase, 10 were conducted in the USA and 12 were federally funded. Future research will require focusing on work-related social skills. More international cross-cultural research is suggested to be conducted. In addition, private companies should be encouraged to fund supported employment programs.
