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
Background: Existing outcomes research on autistic adulthood focuses primarily on certain aspects of adult life (e.g., employment) and is limited by methods that are often not representative of whole populations. In the current study, we aimed to use available state administrative data to examine frequencies of receiving state identification, voting, marriage/partnership, and parenting. Methods: In this cross-sectional, population-based study, we accessed Utah state administrative data for 7404 autistic adults born from 1970 to 2002 and matched 1:3 to non-autistic adults ( Results: Autistic adults were less likely to have state identification (54.9% vs. 97%, Conclusion: We found significant differences, indicating that autistic adults are less engaged in multiple aspects of adulthood than their non-autistic peers. Findings point to the need for efforts to better support autistic adult self-determination and to address barriers to achieving the studied outcomes, when desired by autistic individuals.
