Trajectory of sleep patterns across adolescence in autistic and neurotypical youth.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2025. 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
STUDY
objectivesChanges in sleep-wake patterns are synonymous with the developmental transition to adolescence. To examine the trajectory of sleep-wake patterns in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to typically developing (TD) adolescents.
methodsThe total sample consisted of 244 participants, 140 with ASD and 104 who were TD. Sleep data were collected annually in a 4-year longitudinal study on pubertal development, at four time points (10-13 years, 11-14 years, 12-15 years, and 13-16 years). Changes in self-reported weekday and weekend bedtime and waketime across pubertal status were compared between TD and ASD participants, using mixed effects models adjusted for sex, reported night wakings, melatonin use and a diagnosis by puberty interaction. A repeated measures adjusted proportional odds model was used to model reported daytime sleepiness using the same independent variables.
resultsThe ASD and TD groups differed in the change in bedtime across pubertal stages (diagnosis by puberty interaction, X
conclusionsAutistic and TD adolescents exhibit differences in bedtime and daytime sleepiness with pubertal development. These differences may be related to hormonal differences or behavioral factors in these populations and warrant further study.
