Altered Monocyte Populations and Activation Marker Expression in Children with Autism and Co-Occurring Gastrointestinal Symptoms.
Article in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 an early-onset neurodevelopmental condition that now impacts 1 in 36 children in the United States and is characterized by deficits in social communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Children with ASD also frequently experience co-morbidities including anxiety and ADHD, and up to 80% experience gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and/or abdominal pain. Systemic immune activation and dysregulation, including increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, are frequently observed in ASD. Evidence has shown that the innate immune system may be impacted in ASD, as altered monocyte gene expression profiles and cytokine responses to pattern recognition ligands have been observed compared to typically developing (TD) children. In humans, circulating monocytes are often categorized into three subpopulations-classical, transitional (or "intermediate"), and nonclassical monocytes, which can vary in functions, including archetypal inflammatory and/or reparative functions, as well as their effector locations. The potential for monocytes to contribute to immune dysregulation in ASD and its comorbidities has so far not been extensively studied. This study aims to determine whether these monocyte subsets differ in frequency in children with ASD and if the presence of GI symptoms alters subset distribution, as has been seen for T cell subsets.
