Exploratory quantitative EEG characteristics in children with autism spectrum disorder.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are currently one of the most common childhood conditions. It is estimated that they affect approximately 1 in 31 children. Early and rapid diagnosis can increase a child's chances of reaching full developmental, social, and educational potential despite their condition. Methods: Our study aimed to describe a brainwave pattern in children with mild autism spectrum disorder (Level-1 according to DSM-5) based on quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) analysis. The QEEG study is one of the valuable electrophysiological methods used in neurology and psychiatry, becoming more and more popular for diagnosing ASD. Our study included 48 children aged 7-10 years. Based on previous clinical examinations, 24 of them were diagnosed with mild ASD (mASD). Quantitative electroencephalography for Delta, Theta, Alpha, sensorimotor rhythm (SMR), Beta1, and Beta2 waves was performed using electrodes placed at thirteen recording points (frontal: FzF3F4, central: CzC3C4, parietal: P3PzP4, temporal: T3T4, and occipital: O1O2 points) with eyes open and closed. Results: A comparison of the results between the mASD group and control group revealed significantly higher amplitude values for all Delta, Theta, Alpha, SMR, Beta1, and Beta2 wave measurements in the mASD population. Furthermore, the overrepresentation of Beta2-waves could be discerned in mASD children, as compared to their non-ASD-affected peers. Discussion: The described pattern may help screen for mASD or confirm the diagnosis in the pediatric population of mASD-suspected patients. Additionally, it is worth noting that the results obtained demonstrate the importance of QEEG in detecting different patterns of brain activity in children with ASD, which plays a significant role in better understanding the heterogeneity of this disorder.
