Using Behavioral Skills Training to Teach Caregivers to Implement Mand Training With Their Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review of the Single Case Research.
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
purposeThis review investigated the efficacy of behavioral skills training (BST) when training caregivers to teach mand skills to their children with autism. Additionally, this review evaluated aspects of BST to increase its efficacy and time efficiency. This review addressed five questions: (1) what are the effects of BST when teaching caregivers to implement procedures to teach manding skills to their children with autism? (2) do caregiver-implemented procedures produce maintenance and generalization of communicative responses by their children? (3) what are the effects of booster training? (4) what is the BST training time or sessions to mastery reported across studies to reach optimal performance by caregivers? and (5) what are the settings in which BST training was delivered to caregivers?
methodUsing academic databases (PsychINFO, ERIC), this review assessed peer-reviewed articles that evaluated BST to train caregivers to implement communication procedures using single-case designs. The initial search resulted in 1,394 articles.
results14 studies met inclusion criteria in this review.
conclusionResults suggested the efficacy of BST procedures during the training of caregivers to teach manding skills. Further evaluations of the effect of BST with caregivers related to communication instruction to their children with autism are needed. Also, an analysis of variables that could potentially improve aspects of BST delivery warrant further investigation (e.g., training time, setting, child presence during training). The state of the research base related to the efficacy of BST in this context, and recommendations for future research and implications for the practice are discussed.
