Electroencephalographic aspects and phenotypic characteristics in children with autism.
Article in Journal of medicine and life, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder that affects many individuals around the world, with a constantly increasing prevalence. The association between autism and electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities in children suggests a worse evolution of clinical features. A retrospective study was conducted, including 101 children with autism who underwent clinical and neurological examination and wake electroencephalography. This study aimed to examine EEG abnormalities in children with autism, identify phenotypic characteristics associated with these abnormalities, asses their clinical relevance, and determine potential phenotypic correlations. The results showed that 10.89% of the patients in the study presented EEG abnormalities, similar to those of other studies that used wake EEG. Of these patients, 18.18% presented epileptic-type discharges, such as spike and wave complexes, and 81.81% presented non-epileptic-type abnormalities, such as bursts of slow waves, generalized or focal. Regarding the phenotypic profile of the patients with EEG abnormalities, 45.45% had a positive family history, 63.63% presented with dysmorphic features and 27.27% presented with gait disturbance. This study shows that some children with autism present multiple EEG abnormalities and diverse phenotypic traits in terms of personal and family history, dysmorphic features, and neurological examination. Identifying EEG abnormalities can improve clinical decisions with complex treatment and monitoring of co-occurring conditions like epilepsy. The use of accessible, effective, and noninvasive assessment tools, such as EEG recordings and neurological examinations in children with autism, can provide valuable support for improved case management.
