The Early Social Cognition Inventory - Autism Version: psychometric properties for young children with autism spectrum disorder.
Article in International journal of developmental disabilities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Early Social Cognition Inventory (ESCI) in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study included 76 typically developing children (TDC) (mean age= 39.28 months) and 81 participants (mean age= 36.07 months) with clinical diagnoses of ASD. The parents completed both the ESCI and Modified checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) checklists. Our exploratory factor analysis of the ESCI in children with autism revealed two factors (joint attention and understanding beliefs and emotions) with 17 items. We named this 17-item scale the Early Social Cognition Inventory - Autism Version (ESCI-AV). Regarding convergent validity, we found a strong correlation between the ESCI-AV and the M-CHAT (rho = 0.786,
