Transdiagnostic Behavioral Phenotypes and Comorbid Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: An Exploratory Study.
Article in Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research, 2026. 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
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), have heterogeneous behavioral phenotypes and substantial symptom overlap. Identifying transdiagnostic subgroups may help clarify this heterogeneity. This study aimed to identify behavior-based subgroups of children with NDD and explore links between gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and behavioral symptoms. Using data from the Province of Ontario Neurodevelopmental Disorders (POND) network, we applied a heterogeneous mixture model (HMM) to behavioral data from 1716 participants, including typically developing (TD, n = 210), ASD (n = 747), and ADHD (n = 759) and identified six distinct clusters. Five of the clusters included individuals with TD, ADHD, and ASD diagnoses. The remaining cluster exhibited the most severe behavior phenotype and was exclusively ADHD and ASD participants. Notably, GI symptoms were significantly more prevalent in the cluster with the most severe behavioral profile (χ
