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
purposeAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong, heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication and stereotyped patterns of behaviors and interests. The prevalence of ASD has increased in the last decades, and research has widened its study to the Broader Autism Phenotype (BAP). Therefore, it is important to develop effective screening tools to detect ASD and BAP in the general population. The Autism Spectrum Quotient, Children´s version (AQ-Child) is a 50-item parent-report questionnaire developed to assess autistic traits in children aged 4-11 years. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the AQ-Child to Spanish as part of a school-based screening program in Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain.
methodsThe AQ-Child was translated, pilot-tested, and administered online through the Qualtrics platform of the University of Salamanca to a school population sample (n = 602).
resultsA total of 45 cases scored at or above the established cut-off point of 76 points on the Spanish version of the AQ-Child (AQ-Child-SV) and 18 scored between 70 and 75 points. The results showed a significant difference in AQ-Child-SV scores between children who received an ASD diagnosis and children with no suspicion of ASD in the general population. For the AQ-Child-SV sensitivity was 0.83 and the specificity was 0.96. Positive and negative predictive values were 0.55 and 0.99 respectively.
conclusionThe data from this study indicates that the Spanish version of the AQ-Child could be a reliable instrument for screening autism spectrum disorder and the BAP in school-age children.
