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

Electrophysiological alterations may represent a neural substrate of impaired neurocognitive processes and other phenotypic features in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). However, the role of biological sex in electroencephalography (EEG) patterns that differentiate FXS from typical development has not been determined. This limits use of EEG in both the search for biomarkers of impairment in FXS as well as application of those markers to enhance our understanding of underlying neural mechanisms to speed treatment discovery. We investigated topographical relative EEG power in participants at rest in a sample of males and females with FXS and in age- and sex-matched typically developing controls (TDC) using a cluster-based analysis. While alterations in theta and low beta power were similar across males and females in FXS, relative power varied by sex in the alpha, upper beta, gamma, and epsilon frequency bands. Follow up analyses showed that Individual Alpha Peak Frequency (IAPF), a continuous variable that may capture atypicalities across the theta and alpha ranges in neurodevelopmental disorders, also varied by sex. Finally, performance on an auditory filtering task correlated with theta power in males, but not females with FXS. The impact of biological sex on resting state EEG power differences in FXS is discussed as it relates to potential GABAergic and glutamatergic etiologies of neurocognitive deficits in FXS.
