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

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex condition with a multifactorial aetiology including both genetic and epigenetic factors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in ASD and may influence metabolic pathways. Glycosylation (the glycoconjugate synthesis pathway) is a necessary process for the optimal development of the central nervous system (CNS). Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDGs) (CDGs) are linked to over 180 genes and are predominantly associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) including ASD. From a literature search, we considered 64 miRNAs consistently deregulated in ASD patients (ASD-miRNAs). Computational tools, including DIANA-miRPath v3.0 and TarBase v8, were employed to investigate the potential involvement of ASD-miRNAs in glycosylation pathways. A regulatory network constructed through miRNet 2.0 revealed the involvement of these miRNAs in targeting genes linked to glycosylation. Protein functions were further validated through the Human Protein Atlas. A total of twenty-five ASD-miRNAs were identified, including nine miRNAs that were differentially expressed in cells or brain tissue in ASD patients and associated with glycosylation pathways, specifically protein N- and O-glycosylation and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis (heparan sulfate). A number of CDG genes and/or ASD-risk genes, including
