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) is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily characterized by difficulties in social interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. Advances in neuropsychological research have highlighted the crucial role of executive function (EF) deficits in children with ASD and their impact on the core symptoms of the disorder. EF encompasses higher-order cognitive processes, including working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. Given that EF deficits represent a significant cognitive impairment in this population, the variability in clinical intervention outcomes underscores the need for targeted strategies informed by underlying neural mechanisms. This narrative review explores the current research landscape on EF deficits in children with ASD. It synthesizes empirical findings related to cognitive and motor training, neuromodulation techniques, and collaborative interventions involving families and schools. The aim is to provide theoretical and practical guidance for enhancing EF and improving the quality of life of children with ASD.
