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) is an abnormal condition of brain development characterized by impaired cognitive ability, speech and human interactions, in addition to a set of repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviours. Although no cure for autism exists, early medical intervention can improve the associated symptoms and quality of life. Several manually executed screening tools help to identify the ASD-related behavioural traits in the children that assists the specialist in diagnosing the disease accurately. The quantitative checklist for autism in toddlers (QCHAT) is one of the efficient screening tools used worldwide for ASD screening. ASD diagnosis requires many different manually administered procedures; hence long delay is encountered in getting final results. In recent years, deep neural network (DNN) popularity has been immensely increasing due to its supremacy in solving complex problems. The objective of this research is to apply algorithms, based on the deep neural network (DNN) to identify patients with ASD from the QCHAT datasets. We have used two datasets, the QCHAT and QCHAT-10, in our study. The results obtained show that related to contemporary techniques, the proposed method brings better performance.
