Disruption of DNA Repair as an Emerging Epigenetic Mechanism Underlying Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewTo summarize recent advances in our conceptual understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms of DNA repair contributing to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). RECENT
findingsLarge-scale genetic studies indicate that genes involved in DNA repair contribute to some cases of ASD, and smaller scale studies have reported increased DNA damage in peripheral tissues of both individuals with ASD and their parents. ASD-associated chromatin remodelers, thought to contribute to ASD by regulating gene expression, also facilitate DNA repair. Recent evidence has provided some mechanistic insight into the function of ASD-associated genes in the epigenetic regulation of DNA repair. Importantly, the disruption of DNA repair is a leading candidate to explain the emerging connection between ASD and neurodegenerative disease and may also provide insight into sex differences in ASD. Here, we highlight recent evidence that dysfunction of the DNA repair machinery is an overlooked mechanism underlying ASD, one which requires further systematic study for the benefit of individuals with ASD and their support systems.
