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

Question-asking is a key component of social communication, and interventions targeting this skill may be able to improve social functioning in children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD). This study introduced a novel intervention method called the three-character training of question-asking (TCT-Q), aimed at teaching children with HFASD how to appropriately use 11 questions in social interactions. The effectiveness of TCT-Q was tested through a randomized controlled trial. Thirty-seven children were assigned to TCT-Q group (
