1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting a concurrent association between attentional indices measured via eye tracking and autism symptoms. This meta-analysis examined the utility of eye tracking within longitudinal frameworks for autism interventions, including treatment monitoring and prediction of treatment response. We conducted a multivariate random-effects meta-analysis with a multilevel structure on 25 studies (828 autistic participants; M
