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

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogenous condition that has no biologically relevant subtypes yet. Here, we utilized a multidimensional approach considering social deficits in ASD alongside negative valence and empathy dysfunction to distinguish ASD from Neurotypicals (NT) and to generate ASD subtypes using machine learning approaches. 114 subjects were analyzed, with 70 being NT and 44 ASD, all male with an IQ greater than 70, with 5 domains of personality (NEO-PI-r) and Reading the Mind the Eyes Test (RMET) scores included in the main classifier. We then used a multitude of behavioral (such as IQ, Broader Autism Phenotype, Autism Quotient, Interpersonal Reactivity Index) and clinical measures such as Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) alongside biological methods including DNA methylation of
