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

This study characterized clinical, sociodemographic, psychiatric, and gastrointestinal variables in 55 families, comparing children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to neurotypical siblings. Primary objectives were to delineate sociodemographic profiles and systemic barriers, establish a clinical-nutritional baseline for Uruguayan children, and generate metadata for future microbiome research. We conducted a cross-sectional, case-control study including children aged 4-10 years and sibling controls. Professionals collected data via clinical interviews. Findings indicate a higher male prevalence in the ASD group. Mothers predominantly participated in caregiving and interviews. In the ASD group, 60% of pregnancies had complications, including 12 twin pregnancies. No significant differences were found regarding parental age, delivery method, prematurity, or birth anthropometry. Head circumference at birth did not associate with regression or severity. All children with ASD showed sensory particularities; 94.3% reported gastrointestinal symptoms. We observed a 20-month diagnostic gap and 65% regression rates between 12 and 36 months. These data highlight the need for improved early detection and provide essential local evidence for the Uruguayan ASD population. This interdisciplinary approach bridges clinical practice and research, advancing contextualized care in Uruguay.
