Autism screening and diagnosis in children with congenital heart disease.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: This study determined the prevalence of positive autism screening results at 18-30 months of age and the presence of an autism diagnosis among children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: Secondary analysis of data from Stanford site of California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital electronic health records. Participants ( Results: Prevalence of positive autism screens was 14.6% and autism diagnosis was 11.7%. The factor associated with screen results was age; children with positive screens were younger than children with negative screens. Use of public insurance and Risk Stratification for Congenital Heart Surgery-2 scores were higher in children with autism. Performance of M-CHAT-R/F in relation to autism diagnosis showed sensitivity of 66%, positive predictive value of 57%, and higher specificity and negative predictive values. Conclusion: In this sample, children with CHD were >3 times more likely to have positive autism screens and the diagnosis of autism than children in the general population. Early screening for autism is critical in children with CHD to promote early diagnosis and intervention.
