1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeFinancial literacy skills are crucial for an independent life in modern societies. However, it does not appear that researchers have examined financial literacy skills among autistic individuals. This manuscript uses a systematic review to identify existing research which examines financial literacy skill instruction for autistic individuals.

methodWe used a systematic review strategy to identify approximately 9500 articles. These articles proceeded through abstract and full-text screening for relevance.

resultsWe identified two studies which directly taught financial literacy skills, and ten more which taught more basic money skills (such as calculating change). Neither of the two studies which taught financial literacy skills did so as an exclusive focus; both taught these skills alongside other objectives, as part of a larger intervention.

conclusionsResearch on financial literacy skill instruction among autistic individuals is lacking, though there is a foundation of research examining money skills and related life skills to build upon. We recommend additional research on financial literacy skill instruction, ideally designed with the unique skills and needs of autistic individuals in mind, and with their input.
