Antepartum periodontitis treatment and risk of offspring screening positive for autism spectrum disorder.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundTo evaluate if treating maternal periodontal disease, a pro-inflammatory condition, during pregnancy (intervention) compared to after pregnancy (control) reduces the likelihood of offspring screening positive for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
methodsIn a follow-up study to the MOTOR randomized trial, we compared rates of positive screens on the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) among n = 306 two-year-old toddlers and correlated findings to maternal and cord blood pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 (IL-6).
resultsToddlers in the intervention group had decreased risk of a positive M-CHAT screen (adjusted RR = 0.53, 95% CI 0.29-0.99). Toddlers screening positive compared to negative had higher mean IL-6 in cord blood (1.58 ± 1.14 vs. 1.09 ± 0.72 p = 0.001) and maternal IL-6 change from baseline (1.30 ± 0.61 vs 0.96 ± 0.62 p = 0.03).
conclusionsTreating periodontal disease during pregnancy reduced risk of a positive ASD screen. M-CHAT positivity was associated with increased IL-6 in maternal and cord blood. CLINICAL TRIAL: Trial Registration numbers: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03423836.
