Risk factors in autism spectrum disorder: A Tunisian case-control study.
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that causes disability in social interaction, communication, and restrictive and repetitive behaviors. Common environmental factors like prenatal, perinatal, and/or postnatal factors play a key role in ASD etiologies. Moreover, specific metabolic disorders can be associated with ASD. Subjects and methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study in child psychiatry clinics, involving 51 children with ASD and 40 typical development controls (TDC). Results: We found a correlation between children being breastfed for less than 6 months, having fathers more than 40 years old at childbirth in ASD compared to TDC group. Our study also associated low blood cholesterol and low erythrocyte magnesium levels with increased risk for ASD. Conclusion: Findings support the implication of total cholesterol (TC) and erythrocyte magnesium level in defining autism outcome.
