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

Background and Aims: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This study investigates genetic mutations and prenatal factors associated with ASD, including their interplay, in a multicenter case-control study. Methods: The study included 297 participants (149 ASD cases, 148 controls). Genetic data were analyzed using Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) for ASD-associated chromosomal regions. Environmental data covered prenatal, perinatal, and neonatal factors. Logistic regression and stratified analyses were performed. Results: Significant associations were found between ASD and mutations in 15q11-15q13, 16p11, and 11q13 regions, particularly in Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of integrating genetic and environmental factors in ASD research. Findings underscore the need for tailored early interventions, prenatal care advice, and genetic counseling for at-risk families. Future studies should validate these findings in larger, diverse populations and explore underlying mechanisms.
