The PDD-MRS: an instrument for identification of autism spectrum disorders in persons with mental retardation.

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
The Scale of Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Mentally Retarded Persons (PDD-MRS) is described. The PDD-MRS is a simple classification and screening instrument devised for identification of autistic disorders (of the entire spectrum) in persons with mental retardation from mild to profound levels, age-range 2-55 years. The norms of the scale are based on the research protocols of 1230 Dutch persons with mental retardation. The scale's sensitivity for the entire normative sample was found to be 92.4%; calculated separately for persons at all levels of mentally retarded functioning, male and female persons, speaking and non-speaking persons and five age categories, the sensitivity figures range between 87.0 and 100.0%. The specificity of the scale is also 92.4%; for the aforementioned subgroups separately, the specificity figures range between 84.6 and 95.5%. Roughly similar values for sensitivity and specificity were found when using the scale with severely visually impaired/blind persons; severely hearing-impaired/deaf persons; persons with Down syndrome; male persons with fragile X syndrome. The original version of the PDD-MRS dates from 1990; since then the scale has been widely used in the Netherlands and Belgium. The PDD-MRS should be regarded as a useful instrument for identifying PDD in persons with mental retardation.
