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

purposeWhat is observable in children on the autism spectrum is not only a specific developmental dynamic of temperamental profiles but also the contribution of sensory responsiveness to explaining the level of their temperamental traits. The aim of the conducted research was to determine whether the associations between temperamental traits and sensory responsiveness differed in two groups of children on the autism spectrum: younger (aged between 3 and 6 years) and older (aged between 7 and 11 years).

methodA group of 394 children diagnosed with autism was investigated: 208 aged between 3 and 6 years, and 186 aged between 7 and 11 years. The following tools were used: Sensory Experiences Questionnaire 3.0-Polish Version, and EAS-C Temperament Questionnaire.

resultsThe results indicate that the level of temperamental traits in the participating children is determined by the level of various dimensions of sensory responsiveness—to a greater extent in younger children than in older ones. The moderating role of age can be seen in the association of sociability with sensory hyporesponsiveness. In turn, sensory hyperresponsiveness and sensory seeking are associated with activity and shyness in both age groups.

conclusionIt can therefore be concluded that in the group of younger children on the autism spectrum, more aspects of temperament can be explained by the dimensions of sensory responsiveness than in older children.
