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

Behavior intervention has shown promise for treatment for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, current therapeutic decisions are based on trial and error, often leading to suboptimal outcomes. We propose an approach that employs task-based fMRI for early outcome prediction. Our strategy is based on the general linear model (GLM) and a random forest, combined with feature selection techniques. GLM analysis is performed on each voxel to get t-statistic of contrast between two tasks. Due to the high dimensionality of predictor variables, feature selection is crucial for accurate prediction. Thus we propose a two-step feature selection method: a "shadow" method to select all-relevant variables, followed by a stepwise method to select minimal-optimal set of variables for prediction. A few columns of random noise are generated and added as shadow variables. Regression based on the random forest is performed, and permutation importance of each variable is estimated. Candidate voxels with higher importance than the shadow are kept. Surviving voxels are fed into stepwise variable selection methods. We test both forward and backward stepwise selection. Our method was validated on a dataset of 20 children with ASD using leave-one-out cross-validation, and compared to other standard regression methods. The proposed pipeline generated highest accuracy.
