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

impactDespite nationwide policies for early autism screening and intervention, many children with ASD still face delays; most are diagnosed after age three and receive considerably fewer therapy hours than recommended by experts. Delays occur for various reasons: parents might miss early signs of ASD, services are often limited to big cities, cultural beliefs slow help-seeking, and there is a lack of trained provider resources. Practical steps like parent education programs, government-funded digital therapies, and improved referral systems can facilitate quicker, more effective care for children, particularly in underserved areas.
