Exploring Trajectories of Anxiety Symptoms in Autistic and Non-Autistic Youth over Adolescence Using Parent- and Self-Report Measures.
Article in Research in autism, 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
Background: Autistic youth frequently experience co-occurring anxiety. In non-autistic populations, females are more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety and demonstrate distinct symptom trajectories across adolescence. Prior research has demonstrated diagnostic group differences in parent- and self-reported anxiety symptoms; however, it is largely unknown if and how symptoms change over puberty. We examine trajectories of anxiety symptoms for autistic and non-autistic youth over a four-year (Y1-Y4) longitudinal study. Methods: Autistic (N=140) and non-autistic (N=104) youth (ages 10-13 years at Y1) completed the parent- and self-report versions of the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, 2 Results: There was a significant diagnosis-sex interaction ( Conclusions: Our main findings - that autistic youth demonstrate greater anxiety symptoms than non-autistic youth, with distinct symptom trajectories emerging in females versus males - add to the growing literature aimed at understanding the biopsychosocial factors impacting puberty and emotional functioning across adolescence.
