Analyzing the genetic profile of autistic children and adolescents with minimal verbal abilities.

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: Comprehensive care for autistic youth with severe symptoms and language impairment includes genetic testing to find underlying causes. Identifying a genetic diagnosis helps determine prognosis, guide treatment, assess recurrence risk, and connect families with targeted resources and support networks. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed retrospectively data of a cohort of 60 Autism Spectrum Disorder Minimally Verbal (MV) past age 5 children and adolescents who underwent several genetic investigations and were included in an evaluation protocol including cognitive, adaptive, psychiatric, parental stress and autism characteristics' evaluations to identify whether there were any specific clinical or genetic characteristics in the group of minimally verbal autistic individuals. Results: The percentage of genetic disorders detected in the series is 22.6%. Two groups of MV autistic individuals were defined: those without a known genetic cause (n = 46, neuropsychological data available for 32 individuals) and those with an associated genetic condition (n = 14, neuropsychological data available for 8 individuals). Most participants in both groups scored below 70 on Nonverbal Intelligence Quotient (NVIQ) (77.5% in the first group Discussion: This is the first study analyzing the genotype-phenotype correlation in MV autistic individuals. In this sample, the prevalence of genetic syndromes was found to be twice as high as in the general autistic population (22.6%
