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

The purpose of this study was to validate the utility of the Systematic Observation of Red Flags (SORF) for autism screening during 10-minute parent-child interactions at ages 15-24 months. A total of 54 children participated in this study, including 19 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), 23 with developmental delay, and 12 typically developing children. Coders coded 10-minute videos of parent-child interactions based on the defined scoring criteria. The discriminative ability for outcome diagnosis was evaluated for total score, social communication score, restricted repetitive behavior score, number of red flags, and composite score. SORF scores demonstrated good discriminative ability between ASD and non-ASD children, with the composite score (AUC = 0.884) showing the best discriminative ability for outcome diagnosis and predicting likelihood of ASD in young children. The composite score represented a simplified measurement, with the cutoff score of 7 and sensitivity and specificity of 0.789 and 0.800, respectively.
