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 disorder associated with social and communication impairments and repetitive and restrictive behavioural patterns. Children with ASD often present with concurrent conditions, including poor bone health, which affect long-term health. Although there is compelling evidence to suggest that children with ASD have poorer bone traits than typically developing children, the primary factors associated with these differences are unclear. This review will explore the potential role that factors such as physical activity, nutrition (calcium, protein, vitamin C, vitamin D) and lifestyle (sleep, medication) play on bone health in children with ASD. Having a greater understanding of the influencing factors of low BMD and how these might interact in a synergistic manner in ASD children will provide an opportunity to develop targeted interventions to improve bone health aiming to avert attainment of suboptimal peak bone mass which may lead to early onset osteoporosis, fracture and muscle deconditioning in this paediatric population.
