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

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have emerged as a globally recognized public health concern. Currently, discrete trial teaching (DTT) is an effective intervention approach for ASD rehabilitation in hospitals. However, family-based interventions often yield limited outcomes. This study aims to develop a hospital-family collaborative DTT program guided by King's goal attainment theory, to support parents in delivering continuous and effective intervention within home environments. Method: This single-blind randomized controlled study included 84 children with ASD aged 1 to 6 years. Participants were stratified by gender and age and randomly assigned to either the experimental group ( Results: Except that the PSI scores were unaffected by the intervention method, the GESELL, PSI, FAD, theoretical, and skill scores were significantly influenced by both intervention time ( Discussion: Our hospital-family collaborative DTT program significantly improved children's ASD symptoms, family function, and parenting stress, demonstrating the value of ongoing family-based DTT intervention. The improvements in children's symptoms and family function showed a time-dependent shift from adaptive to behavioral changes, which were linked to lower parental stress.
