Tools for Detecting Ageing in People with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Scoping Review.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundPeople with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require a customised, multidisciplinary plan throughout their lifetime to support optimal health. The purpose of this scoping review was to synthesise research on the main scales used to detect signs of ageing in people with ASD.
methodsEligible papers published between January 2003 and August 2025 were identified through searches of PubMed, PsycInfo, Scopus, Web of Science, NICE and Cochrane databases. The assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal and extraction checklist. Of the 820 papers reviewed, 24 were found to meet the established criteria.
resultsBased on the evidence collected, 57 tools focusing on specific domains within the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment were identified: 19 addressed the functional domain, 18 the mental, 6 the biomedical, 1 the social, 2 related to frailty, 1 to fall risk, and 10 to quality of life.
conclusionsThis review highlights the need to obtain a 'multi-domain' tool for the detection of ageing in autistic people, which would facilitate the development of a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment that makes planning customised care possible.
