Autism spectrum disorder: communicative profile before and after remote family guidance.
Article in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo compare the communicative profile of children diagnosed with or at risk for autism spectrum disorder before and after speech-language-hearing guidance (indirect treatment).
methodsThe study included caregivers and/or parents of children aged 2 to 9 years with a diagnosis of or at risk for autism spectrum disorder, with or without speech-language-hearing therapy. Before the intervention, caregivers answered the sample characterization form and clinical history. They also sent a 10-minute audio and video recording of interaction between the child and a familiar adult for pragmatic analysis based on the ABFW Child Language Test. The intervention included online guidance meetings with slides and guidance booklets. After the intervention, a new video of child-adult interaction was collected for pragmatic analysis.
resultsThere was a statistically significant increase in the number of communicative acts per minute, the number of communicative functions used, and the communicative space occupied by the children from before to after the intervention. Most children changed their preferred means of communication and increased the number of responses, although these changes were not statistically significant. After the guidance meetings, most participants reached the age-appropriate number of communicative acts.
conclusionIndirect treatment is a good tool to benefit the pragmatic abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder.
