Group-Based Psychological Interventions for Autistic Youth with Chronic Pain: Narrative Review and Practice Considerations for Intensive Interdisciplinary Pediatric Pain Treatment.

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
Emerging work characterizing youth with chronic pain increasingly recognizes a large cohort of youth with co-occurring chronic pain and autism. This development has prompted questions about how to adapt Intensive Interdisciplinary Pediatric Pain Treatment (IIPTs) and the group-based treatments commonly used in these settings to improve accessibility, acceptability, and utility for autistic participants. There is a need for clinically oriented literature that IIPT programs and clinical trialists can use to guide adaptation efforts. Given long-term risks of inadequately treated pediatric pain, we argue it is clinically and ethically important to identify reasonable autism-informed adjustments within existing IIPT frameworks, even as more empirical work unfolds to inform nuance. In this narrative review, we synthesize evidence from pediatric pain psychology and autism intervention literatures to identify overlapping mechanisms and opportunities for adaptation, with a specific focus on group-based CBT/ACT-oriented treatments delivered in IIPTs. We summarize emerging clinical characteristics of autistic adolescents enrolled in IIPTs, bridge autism and pediatric pain group treatment literature, map that literature onto pediatric pain targets and autism-informed IIPT group design considerations and provide practical examples of IIPT group modifications extended from the existing data and the authors' clinical experience delivering group-based pain psychology services to autistic youth in IIPTs. We also highlight constraints of group formats for autistic youth and emphasize flexible pathways of care.
