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

purposeCurrently, there is growing evidence that persistent primitive reflexes (PPRs) may be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). PPRs can disturb motor development and negatively affect children's emotional regulation and social behavior. Therefore, they may be associated with clinical variables involved in ASD such as emotional-behavioral factors. Given this, the current study sought to explore the relationship between PPRs and emotional and behavioral problems involved in ASD.

methodsThe present study investigated seven primitive reflexes in 30 autistic children and 30 typically developing (TD) children, analyzing the relationship between PPRs and emotional and behavioral problems related to ASD.

resultsThe findings of the study showed that compared to the TD group, children with ASD had higher levels of reflexes' retention. In addition, the results indicated that various PPRs were related to several emotional and behavioral problems in autistic children.

conclusionThe findings highlight the importance of the examination of PPRs as a screening tool for children. Comprehensive investigation of PPRs, particularly in children with ASD, may contribute to a more accurate assessment of problems and higher effectiveness of possible intervention programs.
