Clinical and genetic findings in autism spectrum disorders analyzed using exome sequencing.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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) refers to a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders and is characterized by impaired reciprocal social interaction and communication, as well as the presence of restricted interests and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. As a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, the phenotype and severity of autism are extremely heterogeneous, with differences from one patient to another. Chromosome microarray (CMA) and fragile X syndrome analyses has been used as a powerful tool to identify new candidate genes for ASD.
methodsIn the present study, CMA was first used to scan for genome-wide copy number variants in the patient, and no clinically significant copy number variants were found. Exome sequencing (ES) was used for further genetic testing.
resultsES was performed on 20 subjects. Eighty percent of our sample presented intellectual disability. Other co-occurring clinical conditions included speech disorders, psychomotor delay, the presence of dysmorphic features and medical co-morbidities. A pathogenic variant was identified in 10 patients (
conclusionsES offers expanded diagnostic options for patients with ASD who are negative on CMA. However, further studies are needed for a better understanding of ASD etiology and also the different phenotypes.
