Predictive utility of autistic traits in youth with ADHD: a controlled 10-year longitudinal follow-up study.
Article in European child & adolescent psychiatry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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 objective of this study was to investigate the stability and predictive utility of autistic traits (ATs) in youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants were referred youth with and without ADHD, without a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, and their siblings, derived from identically designed longitudinal case-control family studies of boys and girls with ADHD. Subjects were assessed with structured diagnostic interviews and measures of social, cognitive, and educational functioning. The presence of ATs at baseline was operationalized using a unique profile of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) consisting of an aggregate T score of ≥ 195 on the Withdrawn, Social, and Thought Problems subscales (CBCL-AT profile). At the follow-up, 83% of the ADHD youth with a positive AT profile at baseline continued to have a positive CBCL-AT profile. The presence of a positive CBCL-AT profile at baseline in youth with ADHD heralded a more compromised course characterized by a greater burden of psychopathology that emerged at an earlier age, along with poorer interpersonal, educational, and neurocognitive outcomes. Findings indicate a high level of persisting ATs in ADHD youth over time, as indexed through the CBCL-AT profile, and the presence of this profile prognosticates a compromised course in adult life in multiple domains of functioning.
