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) presents significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment, driven by its heterogeneous nature and complex aetiology. Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have facilitated exploration of novel approaches to ASD detection, stratification, and intervention opportunities. This narrative review explores the current ML and artificial intelligence (AI) research landscape across several key domains, including early ASD screening, phenotypic stratification, diagnostic biomarkers, neuroimaging, personalised therapies, and the role of automation and robotics in the treatment of this complex condition. Detailed analyses of these approaches emphasise the transformative but not yet realised potential of ML to improve outcomes for individuals with ASD. IMPACT: Highlights emerging trends, including multimodal AI integration, digital phenotyping, and use of AI to achieve biomarker-driven precision medicine. Provides first comprehensive synthesis of AI advancements in screening, diagnosis and treatment of ASD. Identifies current gaps in AI ASD research, such as dataset heterogeneity, validation issues, and clinical trust barriers.
