Brexpiprazole Treatment in a Child With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Trauma-Associated Hoarding Symptoms: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently present with multiple psychiatric comorbidities, often accompanied by severe emotional dysregulation and behavioral disturbances that complicate diagnosis and treatment. We describe a child with comorbid ASD and ADHD who also met diagnostic criteria for hoarding disorder and separation anxiety disorder and exhibited trauma-related symptoms. The patient showed minimal response to psychotherapy and conventional pharmacological interventions. Although comprehensive multidisciplinary support was provided, severe emotional outbursts and irritability persisted, and treatment with approved antipsychotics and ADHD medications was limited by adverse effects. Adjunctive treatment with brexpiprazole was subsequently initiated. Following treatment, some improvement in hoarding behaviors and social motivation was observed. This case highlights the therapeutic challenges associated with managing complex neurodevelopmental conditions with multiple psychiatric comorbidities. These findings may provide insight into the interaction between neurodevelopmental vulnerability and trauma-related psychopathology and suggest a possible pharmacological consideration for treatment-resistant cases.
