Oral microbiota in autistic children: Diagnosis-related differences and associations with clinical characteristics.

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
Similar to the gut microbiome, oral microbiome compositions have been suggested to play an important role in the etiology of autism. However, empirical research on how variations in the oral microbiome relate to clinical-behavioral difficulties associated with autism remains sparse. Furthermore, it is largely unknown how potentially confounding lifestyle variables, such as oral health and nutrition, may impact these associations. To fill this gap, the current study examined diagnosis-related differences in oral microbiome composition between 80 school-aged autistic children (8-12 years; 64 boys, 16 girls) versus 40 age-matched typically developing peers (32 boys, 8 girls). In addition, associations with individual differences in social functioning (SRS-2), repetitive behavior (RBS-R) and anxiety (SCARED) were explored, as well as the impact of several lifestyle variables regarding nutrition and oral health. Results provide important indications that the bacterial genera
