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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with challenges in areas such as social skills and behavior, with 1 in 36 children diagnosed in the U.S. Annually, over 100,000 adolescents with ASD transition to adulthood, often facing a "service cliff" where support diminishes. Group therapy can help autistic adults by enhancing social skills, executive functioning, and emotional regulation while fostering belonging and reducing isolation. Telehealth-based group therapy offers additional benefits, particularly for those with social anxiety, geographic barriers, or limited transportation. While telehealth is effective for autistic adults, practical guidelines for virtual group therapy are lacking. This article provides recommendations for conducting telehealth group therapy, incorporating insights from clinicians and an autistic self-advocate.
