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
purposeAdolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) within the neurodevelopmental disorder spectrum face challenges across various developmental domains that persist throughout their lives. This study aimed to examine and compare levels of loneliness, subjective well-being, and self-efficacy among adolescents aged 14–17 with ASD, with SLD, and adolescents with typical development (TD), based on their self-reports, and to explore the relationships among these variables.
methodThe instruments used in the assessment included the Children’s Self-Efficacy Scale, the UCLA Loneliness Scale Short Form, and the Adolescent Subjective Well-Being Scale, which were administered to 180 adolescents (39 with ASD, 62 with SLD, and 79 with TD) attending inclusive high school settings.
resultsFindings revealed that adolescents with SLD reported significantly higher family satisfaction and lower academic self-efficacy compared to their TD peers and peers with ASD. Adolescents with ASD reported higher levels of loneliness and lower social self-efficacy than those in the other two groups. Correlational analyses across all groups indicated significant relationships between subjective well-being and academic self-efficacy among adolescents with ASD, and between family satisfaction and general self-efficacy among those with SLD.
conclusionThese results can be interpreted as suggesting that adolescents with ASD in this study sample are sensitive to or affected by the challenges they face in social–emotional interaction and peer relationships. For adolescents with SLD, the findings underscore the importance of supportive family interactions for their well-being and may indirectly relate to their perceptions of academic challenges.
