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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by multifactorial etiology and high heritability but can be challenging to be diagnosed, especially in cases presenting subthreshold symptoms with no cognitive or language impairment, which may not be identified until adulthood but may occur in family members of subjects with ASD. This study explores the possible correlation between a genomic imbalance and clinical phenotypes in a family case of a proband with ASD, with subjects presenting full-blown or subthreshold ASD and/or mood disorders. Clinical assessments were carried out by means of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) disorders, Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Module 2 (ADOS-2), and Adult Autism Subthreshold Spectrum (AdAS Spectrum). The genetic evaluation included array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH). The proband was diagnosed with ASD and bipolar disorder type I (BD-I), her twin brothers with ASD and intellectual disability (ID), and her father and sister with BD type II (BD-II) and autism traits. The proband, her father, twin brothers, and older sister showed a microduplication of 350 kb in 20q11.21. In contrast, the proband's mother did not present the microduplication or any mental disorder. This study reports a microduplication that segregates with family members affected by ASD or autistic traits comorbid in some cases with bipolar disorder, and that has never been reported in healthy subjects. Among the genes harbored in this region, the
