The relationship between autism spectrum disorder and screen time in children: a literature review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects millions of children globally, significantly impacting their quality of life. Understanding factors that contribute to symptoms, is essential for improving outcomes. This review aims to explore the relationship between screen time and ASD and provide insights for targeted interventions. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched for studies on the link between screen time and ASD symptoms. Results: The findings suggest a possible link between excessive screen time and increased ASD symptoms, including social withdrawal and communication challenges. Some studies propose a bidirectional relationship, where children with this disorder may prefer more screen time due to social isolation. Conclusion: Although there is evidence suggesting a link between screen time and ASD, the relationship remains unclear; further research is needed to better understand these connections and develop effective interventions for children with this disorder.
