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

Over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made in defining autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a disorder of brain connectivity. Indeed, whole-brain imaging studies revealed altered connectivity in the brains of individuals with ASD, and genetic studies identified rare ASD-associated mutations in genes that regulate synaptic development and function. However, it remains unclear how specific mutations alter the development of neuronal connections in different brain regions and whether altered connections can be restored therapeutically. The main challenge is the lack of preclinical models that recapitulate important aspects of human development for studying connectivity. Through recent technological innovations, it is now possible to generate patient- or mutation-specific human neurons or organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and to study altered connectivity in vitro or in vivo upon xenotransplantation into an intact rodent brain. Here, we discuss how deficits in neurodevelopmental processes may lead to abnormal brain connectivity and how iPSC-based models can be used to identify abnormal connections and to gain insights into underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms to develop novel therapeutics.
