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

aimTo examine the adaptive behaviour profiles of children with monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) to determine whether syndrome-specific or transdiagnostic approaches provide a better understanding of the adaptive behavioural phenotypes of these NDDs.

methodThis cross-sectional study included parents and caregivers of 243 (48% female) individuals (age range = 1-25 years; mean = 8 years 10 months, SD = 5 years 8 months) with genetically confirmed monogenic NDDs (CDK13, DYRK1A, FOXP2, KAT6A, KANSL1, SETBP1, BRPF1, and DDX3X). Parents and caregivers completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition to assess communication, daily living, socialization, and motor skills.

resultsLinear regression models comparing mean adaptive behaviours between monogenic NDDs, adjusting for the presence of intellectual disability, revealed few group differences. Children with variants in BRPF1 or KANSL1 had better adaptive behaviour skills compared to children with variants in CDK13, DDX3X, DYRK1A, and KAT6A, although group differences varied across domains. A latent profile analysis showed compelling evidence for a five-profile model. These profiles were homogeneous, with similar delays across the subdomain scores in each profile. Additionally, each monogenic NDD was represented in each profile, with a few exceptions.

interpretationTransdiagnostic approaches to understand adaptive behaviour in monogenic NDDs provide a better understanding of individual strengths and challenges, enabling more targeted support.
