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

purposeTo develop optimal algorithms of parent-administered items to improve the detection of autism and other developmental disorders at the 18-month visit.

methodsParents of 11,878 children aged 16-20 months completed the M-CHAT-R/F

resultsThe resulting model includes expressive vocabulary and items representing joint attention.

conclusionsThe model appears to be approximately twice as sensitive to autism as the M-CHAT-R-F and twice as sensitive as the ASQ-3 for DD. The TADAS model shows promise as being the only screen for that age with the generally recommended performance of over .7 for both sensitivity and specificity for both autism and DD.
