Effects of TEACCH on social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) on social functioning in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
methodsRelevant studies on TEACCH intervention in ASD individuals were systematically searched in PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang from inception to March 2024. The main outcome measures were social, cognitive performance, fine motor, communication, daily living, imitation, and cognitive verbal skills. Data were meta-analyzed using R studio (4.1.2).
resultsEleven studies involving 701 ASD individuals were included in this study. The TEACCH group had significantly higher socialization score [MD = 0.6, 95% CI(0.2, 1.0)], Cognitive Performance Scale score [MD = 1.34, 95% CI(0.09, 2.58)], and fine motor score [MD = 0.7, 95% CI(0.4, 1.0)] but significantly lower Autism Behavior Checklist score [MD = -1.57, 95% CI(-2.11, -1.02)], Childhood Autism Rating Scale score [MD= -0.7, 95%CI(-1.0, -0.3)], and Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist score [MD= -0.7, 95% CI(-1.0, -0.3)] compared to the control group. There were no significant differences in other outcome measures.
conclusionTEACCH is a promising intervention for improving the social skills, cognitive performance, and fine motor functions of ASD individuals. However, further studies are warranted to confirm the effectiveness of TEACCH on ASD core symptoms.
