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

Early Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) identification is crucial but resource-intensive. This study evaluated a novel two-stage multimodal AI framework for scalable ASD screening using data from 1242 children (18-48 months). A mobile application collected parent-child interaction audio and screening tool data (MCHAT, SCQ-L, SRS). Stage 1 differentiated typically developing from high-risk/ASD children, integrating MCHAT/SCQ-L text with audio features (AUROC 0.942). Stage 2 distinguished high-risk from ASD children by combining task success data with SRS text (AUROC 0.914, Accuracy 0.852). The model's predicted risk categories strongly agreed with gold-standard ADOS-2 assessments (79.59% accuracy) and correlated significantly (Pearson r = 0.830, p < 0.001). Leveraging mobile data and deep learning, this framework demonstrates potential for accurate, scalable early ASD screening and risk stratification, supporting timely interventions.
