Attentional and electrophysiological associations with executive function ability in young autistic children.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Difficulties in executive functioning (EF) have been consistently reported in autistic individuals, but less is known about the attentional and neural mechanisms driving these difficulties. We explored the associations between EF abilities and sustained attention, measured with eye-tracking, and spontaneous measures of EEG spectral power density in 176 2-8 year-old autistic children with a wide range of cognitive abilities. EF was measured using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). We found that EF abilities were positively associated with look durations while watching complex, audiovisual stimuli involving social content and dyadic speech. We also found that EF was negatively associated with scalp-wide theta power and positively associated with frontal beta and gamma power. These results shed light on attentional and neural associations with EF abilities and underscore the role of frontal brain activity for EF in autism.
