Impact of COVID-19 on Adaptive Skills and Psychiatric Symptoms in South Korean Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in JAACAP open, 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
Objective: We examine the effect of COVID-19 on South Korean children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using a comprehensive online caregiver survey. Method: Caregivers of 132 children were recruited among 292 children identified with ASD in a large general population epidemiologic cohort from a suburban South Korean city. Using the Korean translation of the CoRonavIruS Health Impact Survey, adapted for autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions (CRISIS-AFAR), data were collected at 3 time points (3 months before the pandemic, from January to June of 2021, and 3-4 months after). Changes in adaptive living skills, lower- and higher-order restrictive and repetitive behaviors (RRBs), co-occurring problem behaviors (activity/attention, oppositional, and anxiety/affect) were assessed over time. Characteristics of more vulnerable subgroups were identified. Results: Among 132 children with ASD (81.1% boys, mean 12.6 ± 1.88 years of age), a significantly larger proportion maintained their initial level of adaptive living skills (43.9%), RRBs (39.4%-51.5%), and co-occurring problem behaviors (>75%) when compared with the proportion of children who worsened or fluctuated ( Conclusion: The majority of South Korean children with ASD demonstrated stability despite the lack of consistency or structure during the pandemic. A 2-year longitudinal follow-up study is underway.
