1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study describes sociodemographic characteristics, co-occurring mental and behavioral health conditions, services provided in individualized education programs (IEPs), and transition planning goals for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a population-based sample.

methodsThe study included 4311 adolescents aged 16 years in 2022 from the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network. All lived within defined catchment areas in 9 states and had an ASD diagnostic code or special education exceptionality. Health and education records from when the adolescents were aged 12 to 16 years were reviewed.

resultsAdolescents with ASD had high prevalence of language delay (51.6%), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (51.1%), and anxiety (42.7%). Few adolescents had an IQ or adaptive test in their records (25.5% and 19.1%, respectively). Most adolescents with an IEP had a transition plan in their records (94.8%), and most had the federally-required postsecondary education (95.7%) and employment goals (95.5%), whereas fewer had the optional postsecondary living goal (43.3%). The prevalence of many elements on the IEP and transition plans varied widely by site. The prevalence of some co-occurring mental and behavioral health conditions and use of school services differed by median household income.

conclusionsAdolescents with ASD have high prevalence of co-occurring mental and behavioral conditions, with limited information on recent IQ and adaptive testing, potentially impacting service needs and receipt. The variability in the prevalence of IEP elements and service provision across different sites highlights the complexities in addressing the diverse transition needs and health outcomes for adolescents with ASD.
