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

Heritability estimates support the contribution of genetics and the environment to the etiology of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but a role for gene-environment interactions is insufficiently explored. Genes involved in detoxification pathways and physiological permeability barriers (e.g., blood-brain barrier, placenta and respiratory airways), which regulate the effects of exposure to xenobiotics during early stages of neurodevelopment when the immature brain is extremely vulnerable, may be particularly relevant in this context. Our objective was to identify genes involved in the regulation of xenobiotic detoxification or the function of physiological barriers (the XenoReg genes) presenting predicted damaging variants in subjects with ASD, and to understand their interaction patterns with ubiquitous xenobiotics previously implicated in this disorder. We defined a panel of 519 XenoReg genes through literature review and database queries. Large ASD datasets were inspected for
