Determinants of Parental Knowledge of Autism in Early Childhood: A Cross-sectional Study from Northeast India.
Article in Eastern journal of psychiatry. 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
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction, with early identification playing a crucial role in improving outcomes. Parental knowledge is central to recognizing early signs and seeking timely intervention. This study aimed to assess parental knowledge of ASD and its determinants among parents of children under 3 years attending a tertiary care center in Sikkim, India. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 parents attending the pediatric outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. Data were collected using a sociodemographic pro forma and the Parent Knowledge Questionnaire on Autism (PKQA). Nonparametric tests and multivariable linear regression were used to identify factors associated with parental knowledge. Results: Only 46.7% ( Conclusion: Parental knowledge of ASD in this population was limited. While several sociodemographic factors were associated with knowledge, occupation and place of residence emerged as key independent determinants. Targeted, context-specific awareness interventions are needed to improve early recognition and facilitate timely intervention for ASD.
