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

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) involves a multi-system interaction mechanism among genetics, immunity, and gut microbiota, yet its regulatory network remains undefined. This study conducted a meta-analysis on Genome-Wide Association Study data from four independent ASD cohorts to identify potential genetic loci. By integrating Polygenic Priority Score, brain region, and brain cell eQTL enrichment analyses, and combining summary-data-based Mendelian Randomisation (SMR) analyses of brain cis-eQTL and mQTL, bidirectional Mendelian Randomisation analyses of 473 gut microbiota, and SMR analysis of blood eQTL, SNPs such as rs2735307 and rs989134 with significant multi-dimensional associations were identified. These loci exert cross-tissue regulatory effects by participating in gut microbiota regulation, involving immune pathways such as T cell receptor signal activation and neutrophil extracellular trap formation, as well as cis-regulating neurodevelopmental genes (HMGN1 and H3C9P), or synergistically influencing epigenetic methylation modifications to regulate the expression of BRWD1 and ABT1. The cross-scale evidence chain constructed in this study provides a theoretical foundation for precision medicine research in ASD, holding promise to advance the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.
