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

In this review and meta-analysis, we aimed to examine outcomes of interpersonal violence among autistic people. Intersectionality and minority theories suggest that negative outcomes are heightened among people with multiple marginalized identities. Thus, we also aimed to investigate gender-related outcomes of interpersonal violence among autistic people. We conducted a systematic database search with inclusion criteria including mixed methods, peer-reviewed research examining any harmful interpersonal act (e.g., physical, sexual, and psychological) experienced by autistic people. We undertook a random-effects meta-analysis with pooled data from 9 studies, comprising 3,647 autistic participants aged 1 to 80 years. Violence was associated with worsened mental health, with the strongest association for internalizing symptoms (
