Undiagnosed Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Child With Chronic Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The literature acknowledges the presence of psychiatric comorbidities in pediatric chronic pain populations. Few studies have focused on comorbidity with autism spectrum disorders. We describe the case of a 10-year-old patient at the onset of his care by the chronic pain team. This boy had been experiencing refractory multifocal chronic pain for three years and had undergone multiple medical examinations that had not identified the cause of the pain or provided sufficient pain relief. During our consultations, the behavioral peculiarities (averted gaze, inhibition), the atypical description of this boy's pain (pain in the hair), and sensory peculiarities (intolerance to noise) led us to suspect an autism spectrum disorder. A multidisciplinary approach, including a thorough developmental history and evaluation by an autism resource center, confirmed this suspicion. The diagnosis of an underlying autism spectrum disorder allowed us to guide our management by integrating the specific sensory aspects of this boy. Concurrently, we facilitated the family's better understanding of the young boy's issues and addressed his social and communication difficulties. Through multidisciplinary care and the integration of these various aspects, our patient's clinical situation improved. Multidisciplinary management is essential in chronic pain teams.
