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

purposeto identify and systematize speech therapy practices with autistic children in healthcare services reported as an evaluative and therapeutic strategy in Brazil. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: a scoping review following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. Articles, essays, reviews, and gray literature available until July 4, 2024, were retrieved from databases such as PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest Central, Embase, EBSCOhost, BVS, BDTD, and Google Scholar. Reference lists and relevant systematic reviews were also checked for additional documents. SELECTION CRITERIA: based on the PCC format (Participants: autistic children aged 2 to 12 years; Concept: speech therapy assessment and treatment strategies; Context: Brazil). DATA ANALYSIS: data were extracted using a pre-designed matrix considering author, type/year of publication, objective, sample, autism concept, type/strategy of intervention, setting, and conclusion. Descriptive quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed.

resultsa total of 49 studies were included in the review, allowing the identification that speech therapy practices targeting autistic children in Brazilian healthcare services predominantly involve therapeutic and evaluative approaches, mainly carried out in university clinics.

conclusionalthough speech therapy has advanced in the personalization of care and adaptation of therapeutic strategies, there is still a predominance of interventions focused on diagnosis and rehabilitation, with a limited number of studies addressing health promotion and social inclusion actions.
