Speech language pathologists' attitudes on bilingual practices for children with autism in India: A qualitative study.
Article in PloS one, 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
The present study, aimed to investigate SLPs' attitude regarding bilingual practices in children with autism. We conducted in-depth telephonic interviews on 13 SLPs working with autistic children in India having at least 2 years of work experience. The data obtained were subjected to stepwise inductive thematic analysis. Results of the study displayed five themes, viz. SLP's opinion of monolingual vs. bilingual approaches in children with autism, Bilingual Practices for children with autism, Factors explaining the choice of language, Suggestions for parents of children with autism and future SLPs, and Need and scope for bilingual practice. Results of the study indicated SLP's divergent attitude towards bilingual practices in children with autism, factors explaining the choice of language, such as lack of culturally appropriate assessment tools, and limited strategies for addressing parental concerns. These findings have implications to address awareness of evidence based bilingual practices in SLPs for children with ASD in multilingual settings, development of practice guidelines and standardized tests in underdeveloped languages. Furthermore, there is a need to educate and address concerns of parents and families of autistic children regarding bilingual approach.
