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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine and comparatively examine the level of social acceptance that Syrian refugee and Turkish middle school students feel towards individuals with autism and to compare that acceptance with that of individuals in other special needs groups. Methods: The study group consisted of 378 typically developing children who were studying at the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels. Of the participants, 108 were Syrian refugee students and 270 were Turkish students. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from the participants to determine the level of willingness of the students to be in the same neighborhood, school, class, group or desk with individuals with autism. Results: According to the findings of the study, Turkish participants felt a higher level of social acceptance towards individuals with autism than Syrian refugee participants. On the other hand, both Syrian refugee and Turkish students were found to feel less social acceptance towards individuals with autism compared to groups with other disabilities. The study also revealed that the participants had various prejudices and their perceptions were shaped by misinformation or incomplete information about individuals with autism. Conclusions: Efforts should be made to positively change the attitudes of all students, especially Syrian refugee students, towards the social acceptance of individuals with autism in Turkey.
