Differences in Prosocial Behaviors of Preschoolers on the Autism Spectrum and Their Non-autistic Peers.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 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
purposeProsocial behaviors (PBs) play a significant role in achieving desired outcomes from childhood through adulthood. This necessitates an in-depth examination in children on the autism spectrum (AS), as potential limitations in this area may pose risks for an individual's entire life. This study aimed to compare PBs of preschoolers on the AS with their non-autistic (NA) peers.
methods50 Turkish-speaking NA children aged between 48 and 72 months, and 50 Turkish-speaking children on the AS aged between 48 and 80 months participated in the study. The groups were matched in terms of nonverbal cognitive competency (NCC). The Coloured Progressive Matrices Test (CPM) was used to assess NCC, and the Prosocial Assessment Protocol (PAP) was used to assess PBs.
resultsDifferences were found in helping and sharing behaviors, as well as in overall PBs. However, the groups exhibited similar levels of comforting behavior. Additionally, children on the AS needed more social cues to engage in PBs. DISCUSSION: The results align with literature, indicating that children on the AS may experience limitations in PBs real-life situations-based assessments, and that they have a marked need for explicit social cues. Further research is needed to deepen the knowledge on the behavioral and motivational characteristics that influence PBs in children on the AS.
