1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit emotional and behavioral problems, posing challenges to their overall development and well-being. PURPOSE: To explore the current status and latent profiles of emotional and behavioral problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and examine associated factors.

methodsFrom April to August 2023, 268 dyads of children with ASD and their parents were recruited. Emotional and behavioral problems were assessed using the parent-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis was conducted to identify distinct patterns of emotional and behavioral problems. After the optimal profile solution was selected, associations between the observed covariates and latent profile membership were examined using the automatic three-step R3STEP procedure in Mplus.

resultsThe detection rate of emotional and behavioral problems was 81.3%, and three latent profiles were identified. R3STEP analyses showed that parenting stress and negative family management were positively associated with membership in profiles characterized by more emotional and behavioral problems, whereas positive family management was inversely associated with high-level profile membership.

conclusionEmotional and behavioral problems in children with ASD showed heterogeneous patterns. After accounting for uncertainty in profile classification, parenting stress and family management remained associated with latent profile membership. Family-based support strategies aimed at reducing parenting stress and strengthening positive family management may be relevant to the emotional and behavioral adjustment of children with ASD.
