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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a multifaceted neurological syndrome affects many aspects of neuropsychologic functions. Dysregulated expressions of several genes have been documented in ASD patients. The current project aimed at comparison of transcript levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), and their natural occurring antisenses in the peripheral blood of ASD individuals (n = 50, male/female = 38/12, age (mean ± standard deviation (SD)): 6 ± 1.4, age range: 3-8) and matched healthy persons (n = 50, male/female = 37/13, age (mean ± SD): 6 ± 1.74, age range: 3-8). We demonstrated remarkable higher levels of these genes in ASD patients. BACE1 transcript levels were correlated with transcript levels of BACE1-AS in all study participants. However, BACE1 transcript levels were not correlated with participants' age. BACE1-AS and BDNF transcript levels were correlated with age in female participants. Significant correlations were detected between transcript levels of BDNF and those of other genes in all study groups. The current results render further indications for contribution of BDNF, BACE1, and their antisenses in the course of ASD and suggested expression levels of these transcripts as putative markers for this neurobehavioral disorder. Such results might be applied in clinical setting for diagnosis of complicated ASD cases.
