Analysis of variant interactions in families with autism points to genes involved in the development of the central nervous system.

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
Whole-genome sequencing data of simplex families with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were analyzed by searching for statistical interactions between loci. The resulting variant pairs mapped to 411 genes, of which 368 had not been associated with ASD before. The variants were used to build an ASD predictor based on an open-source machine learning library. The predictor correctly classifies over 78% of samples from a test set with an average significance level of 8.9· 10-158. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the identified risk genes points to functions related to the development of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Clustering cases on the basis of risk variants improves predictor accuracy and reveals additional overrepresented GO terms. Some of the detected statistical interactions can be linked to known biological interactions between genes involved in the development of the CNS. Analysis of the statistical interactions also points to genes whose biological functions are not yet known.
