Executive Functioning, Attention Problems, and Social Impairments in Youth with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Journal of pediatric neuropsychology, 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
Objectives: Youth with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exhibit social impairments and challenges in executive functioning and attention. Biopsychosocial models underscore the interplay between cognitive processes and social functioning and could inform intervention development. This study evaluated whether diagnostic group moderated associations between cognitive functioning and social impairments in youth with NF1 and youth with ASD. Participants and Methods: Youth ages 8-12 ( Results: Significant correlations between parent-reported executive functioning and attention problems and social impairments were observed only for the NF1 and ASD groups. Moderation analysis revealed behavior regulation and attention problems were similarly related to social impairments across all three groups, while metacognition was significantly associated with social impairments only for the NF1 and ASD group. Auditory attention was not significantly associated with social impairments for any group. Conclusions: Findings highlight shared and distinct cognitive-social associations across NF1 and ASD groups. Interventions targeting executive functioning and attention may improve social functioning for children with NF1 and ASD. Future longitudinal work assessing the underlying neurocognitive mechanisms of social impairments in these populations is needed.
