Language networks in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A systematic review of connectivity-based fMRI studies.
Article in Review journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous condition associated with differences in functional neural connectivity relative to neurotypical (NT) peers. Language-based functional connectivity represents an ideal context in which to characterize connectivity because language is heterogeneous and linked to core features in ASD, and NT language networks are well-defined. We conducted a systematic review of language-related functional connectivity literature on individuals with ASD using PubMed, PsychInfo, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar, yielding 96 studies. Language-task studies indicated local over-connectivity within the language network and global under-connectivity of language with out-of-network regions in ASD. Resting-state studies showed mixed patterns, and connectivity was associated ASD symptomology and language skills. This evidence indicates language-task elicited local over-connectivity and global under-connectivity in ASD, but not a local versus global distinction of resting-state language-related connectivity. Associations with behavior suggest that local over-connectivity and global under-connectivity characterize ASD, and heightened language-related connectivity may support social function.
