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

purposeHearing one's own name produces unique patterns of brain activation which triggers attention and orienting responses to the caller. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) rarely orientate towards people calling their own name, but the extent to which it may facilitate processing of the following external stimuli are not yet clear.

methodsThe current study consisted of both auditory and visual stimuli. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was measured in 28 autistic and neurotypical children (aged 3-7 years) to investigate auditory event-related brain potentials (ERPs) while hearing either their own or an unfamiliar name, and subsequent visual ERPs when viewing objects after hearing them.

resultsThe results demonstrated that, unlike neurotypical children, autistic children did not show enhanced P300 responses upon hearing their own name, but exhibited more negative N1 response in the left frontal region to hearing their own name than an unfamiliar name. However, both autistic and neurotypical children showed equivalent changes in N2, P3 and Late positive potential (LPP) visual ERPs when viewing objects after hearing their own name relative to an unfamiliar name.

conclusionThese findings suggest that autistic children who do not overtly respond to their own name (characterized by a head-turn), nevertheless exhibit increased attention to visual objects in their environment after hearing it. This implies that autistic children do recognize the sound of their name as important but may not understand the social meaning of it.
