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

Objective: This study aims to characterize the developmental, cognitive, and behavioral profiles of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disability (ID). Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted, including children and adolescents with ASD and an intelligence quotient (IQ) of 75 or higher. Parents completed the CBCL, and SNAP-IV 26 Parent Rating Scale to assess developmental milestones, cognitive abilities, and behavioral symptoms. Results: The study included 74 participants, with a mean age of 9.8 ± 2.9 years, of whom 64 (86.5%) were male. Mothers and fathers had a mean age of 33.4 ± 5.5 and 30.2 ± 5.7 years, respectively, with 64.9% of mothers and 47.9% of fathers having completed higher education. Generalized anxiety and depression were the most frequent psychiatric histories reported by parents. Median IQ scores were: total 100 (88-113), verbal 102 (85-117), and performance 97 (90-108). While 82.5% of children spoke their first words before 24 months, only 40% were able to form phrases by age 2. Prosody, pragmatic difficulties, and echolalia were present in over 40% of cases. Moderate or severe symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and oppositional behaviors were observed in 33.8%, 16.2%, and 16.2% of participants, respectively. Internalizing symptoms were present in 27%, and externalizing symptoms in 15% of the sample. Learning challenges included difficulties with text interpretation (31%), text production (24%), reading, and math (19% each). Conclusions: Children and adolescents with ASD without ID exhibit significant behavioral and cognitive challenges, including language delays, inattention, internalizing symptoms, and learning difficulties. These findings emphasize the need for targeted educational and therapeutic strategies to address their unique developmental and behavioral profiles.
