Evaluating the Autism Spectrum Rating Scale Parent and Teacher Reports (6 to 18 years) to Predict an Autism Diagnosis in a Clinical Sample.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Rating scales are widely used in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) evaluations to provide information about developmental history and behavior across settings. Despite frequent use, limited research has examined the diagnostic utility of the Autism Spectrum Rating Scale (ASRS) in clinical settings. This study evaluated the ability of the ASRS to predict ASD diagnoses in a clinical sample. We conducted a chart review of 2,200 youth ages 8-18 years (M = 10, SD = 3) who completed comprehensive autism evaluations and either received an ASD diagnosis (n = 1101) or did not (n = 1119). We analyzed parent and teacher ASRS forms using t-tests and receiver operating characteristic analyses. The DSM subscale scores were significantly higher in the ASD group, though effect sizes were small. Teacher ratings performed slightly better than parent ratings, but overall diagnostic accuracy was poor (AUC = 0.62). Findings suggest the ASRS may aid screening but has limited diagnostic utility in high base-rate clinical settings.
