The Contribution of Emergent Literacy Skills to the Development of Character Recognition and Oral Vocabulary Knowledge Among Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Case of Kindergarteners in China.
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
purposeThe present study investigated the development of emergent literacy skills, and its contribution to promoting character and vocabulary knowledge among kindergarteners with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in China.
methodsFifty-one children with ASD and fifty typically developing children were recruited and completed a series of assessments, including working memory, inhibitory control, rapid automated naming (RAN), phonological awareness, morphological awareness, orthographic awareness, character recognition, receptive and expressive vocabulary.
resultsResults indicated that children with ASD had difficulties in developing phonological awareness, morphological awareness, orthographic awareness and oral vocabulary. However, they demonstrated comparable performance on the tasks of character recognition and RAN in comparison with typically developing children. Additionally, autism severity, nonverbal reasoning, inhibitory control, RAN, phonological awareness and orthographic awareness were significantly associated with character recognition among Chinese-speaking children with ASD. Autism severity, nonverbal reasoning, RAN, and morphological awareness were significant predictors of receptive vocabulary for children with ASD in China.
conclusionEvidence from this study provided insights of identifying possible challenges of early-developed literacy skills and highlighted the contribution of emergent literacy skills to promoting character- and word-level knowledge among children with ASD in China.
