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: The incidence rate of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) has been rising; this study aimed to explore the relationship between nutritional intake and neurodevelopment in children with ASDs. Methods: This study is a case-control cross-sectional comparison including 50 children with ASDs and 50 typically developing controls. A total of 500 children with neurodevelopmental disorders and 500 typically developing (TD) children were recruited based on clinical diagnosis to compare levels of inflammation. Among them, 50 children were diagnosed with ASDs based on DSM-5 criteria by experienced developmental behavioral pediatricians. A total of 50 typically developing children were matched with the 50 children with ASDs. Dietary surveys, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), and physical development evaluations were conducted on these 100 children. Results: The children's dietary inflammatory index (C-DII), systemic immune inflammatory index (SII), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in the ASD group were significantly higher compared to the TD group ( Conclusion: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) displayed higher C-DII scores. The results of this study suggest that there may be a correlation between C-DII and the neurodevelopment of children with ASD, not causality. Inflammatory dietary patterns may represent a modifiable factor linked to neurodevelopmental outcomes.
