Perception of pragmatic skills by speech therapists and parents of children with autism spectrum disorder.
Observational study in CoDAS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo analyze the perceptions of speech therapists and parents or guardians regarding the performance of pragmatic skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), between 2 and 12 years old, undergoing speech therapy.
methodCross-sectional, prospective, observational, analytical study, conducted in a speech therapy clinic in the Midwestern Region of Brazil, including two groups and convenience sampling: Group 1. nine speech therapists who were caring for 70 children with ASD, in the established age range; Group 2. 70 parents or guardians or caregivers of these children. Participants responded to the Protocol for the Assessment of Pragmatic Skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (PAHPEA). Descriptive analyses were conducted to identify the children's pragmatic difficulties perceived by the two groups, Mann-Whitney U test to compare the perceptions of participants in the two groups about the children's pragmatic skills, and Spearman rho correlational analysis to verify the occurrence of an association between these perceptions of participants in both groups.
resultsA statistically significant difference was found in three of the five factors covered by PAHPEA (responsiveness, functionality, and inadequacy), as the members of Group 1 interpreted the children's performance differently from that of the participants in Group 2.
conclusionOverall, the perceptions of speech therapists and parents or guardians were similar in almost all factors and questions evaluated.
