Feasibility of a Novel Eye Gaze Shift Task in Autism Assessment: A Pilot Study.
Article in Research on child and adolescent psychopathology, 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
Eye gaze is a fundamental component of social communication and is frequently evaluated during Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments. Although behavioral assessments of ASD frequently include observations of eye gaze, relatively few standardized tasks are designed to specifically elicit gaze-related social communication in response to an ambiguous social cue. This pilot study examined the feasibility and preliminary diagnostic utility of the Eye Gaze Shift Task (EGST). Data from 58 children (29 ASD; 29 non-ASD) who completed the ADOS-2 Module 1 were analyzed. The EGST was administered concurrently during comprehensive clinical evaluations and scored independently using a standardized 4-point observational hierarchy modeled after the ADOS-2 hierarchy of presses. Chi-square and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between EGST performance and final clinical diagnosis. EGST performance was significantly associated with ASD diagnosis, χ
