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: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in social interactions, communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been increasingly used to identify common patterns in individuals with autism for classification purposes. This study aims to develop an intelligent system for diagnosing ASD in children using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and machine learning algorithms. Methods: This study proposes a method for classifying children with ASD versus healthy control (HC) using resting-state fMRI. This study used images from 26 autistic children and 26 controls, aged 5 to 10 years. Image features were extracted from both groups, and the children with ASD were classified from the HCs using support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms. Results: Our experimental results reveal that the proposed method accurately detects ASD using the ABIDE dataset and achieves accuracy of 88.46%, 73.07%, 82.69%, and 90.38% with SVM, RF, KNN and ANN algorithms, respectively. Conclusions: Diagnosing autism through clinical evaluations is time-consuming and relies on expert expertise, highlighting the importance of intelligent diagnosis for this disorder. In this study, we developed an intelligent system that demonstrated high accuracy in ASD diagnosis using resting-state fMRI and machine learning techniques.
