Experiences of Autistic Students in Postsecondary Education: A Review of Reviews.
Article in Autism in adulthood, 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
Background: The number of autistic students enrolling in postsecondary education is rising, accompanied by an increase in research and subsequent reviews (i.e., meta-analyses, systematic and scoping reviews) describing the experiences of autistic postsecondary students. We summarize the current state of the literature by describing the characteristics (e.g., publication year, language use), evaluating the quality, and mapping the domains and findings of reviews examining autistic postsecondary students to inform future directions of this research. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses were followed. Reviews were included if they were (1) published between January 2000 and December 2023; (2) focused on postsecondary students who had a diagnosis of autism or self-identify as autistic; and (3) focused on experiences of autistic students in postsecondary settings. Consistent with other reviews of reviews, articles were coded for quality, including publication bias. Thematic analysis was used to extract themes from reviews. Results: Out of 1575 articles, 26 published reviews were included. Over half the reviews were published within the past 5 years (i.e., 2019 onward; Conclusions: We summarize key findings from the current literature and make relevant recommendations to move the research on autism in postsecondary forward.
