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

Though genetic testing is recommended for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), both internal (e.g. parents' and providers' valuation of genetic testing) and external (e.g. insurance coverage) barriers exist, and exploration of these factors is required to close the gap between provider recommendations and parent follow-through. In a sample of 290 parents, we explored (a) how parents' ASD-related etiological beliefs and symptom attributions, as well as income, affected genetic testing completion; and (b) whether these factors influence parents' hopes or concerns about genetic testing. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to investigate the factor structure of the ASD attribution measure used, which revealed a different factor structure from previous studies. Binomial logistic regression analyses indicated that parents were less likely to complete genetic testing when they believed their children's ASD was caused by
