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

In recent years, there has been an increase in the incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), its pathogenesis remains unknown, and there are no effective treatments available. Early identification of individuals at risk enables early targeted intervention, which improves outcomes. Through the integration of artificial intelligence and the medical field, researchers can establish a machine learning (ML) risk prediction model to estimate the risk of ASD. Currently, a variety of risk models have been developed using multiple factors, such as genetic background, gaze behavior, adverse conditions during pregnancy and childbirth, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, and intestinal microbial composition, to predict ASD. These ML prediction models have shown some reliability in predicting ASD risk. In the future, ML prediction models for ASD will present significant challenges and opportunities, potentially helping identify drug targets for developing novel therapies to alleviate ASD symptoms and enable precision medicine.
