Peer Acceptance of Autistic College Students.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2026. 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
As autistic young adults increasingly enter into higher education, many are faced with difficult social adjustment (e.g., making friends, acquiring social support) in college (McLeod et al. McLeod et al., Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 49:2320-2336, 2019). Understanding peer acceptance of autistic college students is critical for community growth toward an equitable education experience. Predictors of autism acceptance, such as knowledge of autism, quantity and quality of experience with autism, and family relationships were explored. Acceptance of autism was assessed with a standardized vignette describing behavior of a hypothetical peer on campus, with no disclosure of a diagnosis (Nevill & White (Nevill and White, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 41:1619-1628, 2011). Following the reading, participants made ratings on statements regarding willingness to engage and interact with the hypothetical case. Results revealed a positive correlation between raters' quality of past experience with autism and their acceptance of a hypothetical autistic peer. Knowledge and quantity of experience did not predict acceptance. Having an autistic family member was also not associated with higher acceptance, however, the closeness of relationships with diagnosed family members was positively correlated with acceptance. These findings promote the idea that increasing acceptance of autistic college students could be facilitated through high quality social experiences with autistic individuals.
