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
backgroundExtensive evidence indicates that cortical connectivity patterns are abnormal in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), showing both overconnectivity and underconnectivity. Since, however, studies to date have focused on either spatial or spectral dimensions, but not both simultaneously, much remains unknown about the nature of these abnormalities. In particular, it remains unknown whether abnormal connectivity patterns in ASD are driven by specific frequency bands, by spatial network properties, or by some combination of these factors.
methodsMagnetoencephalography recordings (15 ASD, 15 control subjects) mapped back onto cortical space were used to study resting state networks in ASD with both spatial and spectral specificity. The data were quantified using graph theoretic metrics.
resultsThe two major factors that drove the nature of connectivity abnormalities in ASD were the mediating frequency band and whether the network included frontal nodes. These factors determined whether clustering and integration were increased or decreased in cortical resting state networks in ASD. These measures also correlated with abnormalities in the developmental trajectory of resting state networks in ASD. Lastly, these measures correlated with ASD severity in some frequency bands and spatially specific subnetworks.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that network abnormalities in ASD are widespread, are more likely in subnetworks that include the frontal lobe, and can be opposite in nature depending on the frequency band. These findings thus elucidate seemingly contradictory prior findings of both overconnectivity and underconnectivity in ASD.
