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

Social relationships are a key component of quality of life, a high-priority outcome for autistic people, and family relationships are critical in adolescence. The PROMIS Family Relationships scale has been well validated for use with the general population, but psychometric validation in the autistic population is lacking. This study investigated measurement invariance of the PROMIS Family Relationships among autistic and general population adolescents. The scale demonstrated scalar invariance between the groups, providing evidence that it measures the same construct equivalently and scores can be meaningfully compared between groups. With a well-validated self-report measure, researchers can ask autistic teens directly about their experiences of their family relationships, rather than relying solely on parent proxy report.
