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

The clinical heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is closely associated with the diversity of genes related to ASD pathogenesis. With their low effect size, it has been hard to define the role of common variants of genes in ASD phenotype. In this study, we reviewed genetic results and clinical scores widely used for ASD diagnosis to investigate the role of genes in ASD phenotype considering their functions in molecular pathways. Genetic data from next-generation sequencing (NGS) were collected from 94 participants with ASD. We analyzed enrichment of cellular processes and gene ontology using the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). We compared clinical characteristics according to genetic functional characteristics. We found 266 genes containing nonsense, frame shift, missense, and splice site mutations. Results from DAVID revealed significant enrichment for "ion channel" with an enrichment score of 8.84. Moreover, ASD participants carrying mutations in ion channel-related genes showed higher total IQ (
