Comparative effectiveness of PROMPT-based language training vs. structured home-based training for language and speech delay in children with autism spectrum disorder.

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
Objective: To compare the relative effectiveness of PROMPT-based training vs. structured home-based training in facilitating language and speech development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), specifically focusing on how addressing speech motor control impacts overall language stages. Methods: This retrospective analysis study was conducted at Yongkang Women and Children's Health Hospital. The data for the research subjects were sourced from ASD children with language and speech delay who received treatment from January 2023 to January 2025. To minimize potential confounding and selection bias, a 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was implemented using a nearest neighbor algorithm with a caliper of 0.05. Consequently, 62 patients who received PROMPT-based language training were matched with a cohort of 62 patients receiving structured parent-mediated home training guidance. The Sign-Significant Relation (S-S) and image expression ability were compared before and after the intervention between the two groups. Results: PROMPT-based language training was associated with better outcomes than structured home-based training in children with ASD and language and speech delay, with greater improvement in language developmental stages and image expression ability. Conclusions: After the 3-month intervention, the distribution of S-S developmental stages for language comprehension and expression differed significantly between the two groups, with the PROMPT group showing a higher proportion of children in more advanced stages than the control group (
