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
Compass-Behavioral is a novel, structured coaching program designed to enhance executive functioning and wellbeing in autistic youth and adults. This mixed-methods study examined outcomes from program participation across multiple clinical sites within a nonprofit organization. Quantitative analyses used de-identified archival data from participants completing the Youth and Adult Wellbeing Scales, along with self-assessments associated with the program. Results demonstrated trends toward improvement in wellbeing following program participation. Results of the self-assessment improved significantly from baseline to completion. Complementary qualitative data were gathered from participant feedback surveys, providing insights into perceived benefits and areas for program improvement. Themes included increased self-awareness, improved organization and planning, and greater confidence in everyday functioning. Taken together, the findings suggest Compass-Behavioral is a promising program for supporting executive functioning and quality of life outcomes among autistic individuals, while also pointing to opportunities for strengthening measurement and long-term impact. Further research is warranted to refine outcome measures, expand sample sizes, and evaluate program effects in more diverse clinical and community contexts.
