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

Background: Psychosis-related environmental risks in autism, along with genetic overlaps between autism and psychosis, have been well-established. However, their moderating roles in the relationship between autistic traits (ATs) and psychotic experiences (PEs) remain underexplored. Methods: First-wave data from 792 twins and siblings (mean age: 17.47 ± 3.6, 60.23% female) in the TwinssCan Project were analyzed. PEs and ATs were assessed using the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences and the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, respectively. Polygenic risk scores for schizophrenia and psychosis-associated environmental factors (ie, childhood trauma (CT), bullying, negative life events, obstetric complications, cannabis use, winter birth, and hearing impairment) were tested for their independent effects on PEs and their interaction effects with ATs in moderating the relationship between ATs and PEs using separate multilevel linear regression models with Bonferroni's correction. Results: ATs, all CT subtypes, bullying, and negative life events were positively associated with PEs (all Conclusions: People with high ATs were more likely to have PEs when exposed to CT. Trauma screening and early interventions might be warranted in this at-risk population.
