Instruments and scales for assessment, screening, and psychoeducational diagnosis of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder: a scoping review.
Article in Revista paulista de pediatria : orgao oficial da Sociedade de Pediatria de Sao Paulo, 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
objectiveTo investigate instruments and scales for psychoeducational assessment, screening, and diagnosis of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. DATA SOURCE: This review followed the methodological procedures recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses - Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Its research question was, "What are the main instruments and scales for psychoeducational assessment, screening, and diagnosis of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder in school?". DATA SYNTHESIS: The study included 16 articles that investigated instruments for psychoeducational assessment, screening, and diagnosis of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. The instruments found were the Psychoeducational Profile - Revised (PEP-R), Psychoeducational Profile 3 (PEP-3), and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV). This indicates a scarcity of instruments and scales for the psychoeducational assessment, screening, and diagnosis of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.
conclusionsThe most used instruments to assess the psychoeducational profile of schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorder include the Revised Psychoeducational Profile (PEP-R) and the Psychoeducational Profile, 3rd Edition (PEP-3), according to scientific literature. There is a scarcity of instruments and scales for the psychoeducational assessment, screening, and diagnosis of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, suggesting the need for further research on the subject.
