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 complex neurodevelopmental condition with a steadily increasing global prevalence, yet its etiology remains largely unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that oral microbiome dysbiosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of ASD, potentially through the oral-gut-brain axis, although the exact role and causality remain to be fully established. In this narrative review, we synthesize recent clinical and metagenomic evidence on oral microbiome alterations in ASD and critically evaluate the potential pathways through which these microbial imbalances may impact neurodevelopmental outcomes. We summarize the key host-microbe interactions, including inflammatory signaling, epithelial barrier disruption, and immune-neural crosstalk, while emphasizing that direct causal evidence is still limited. Dysbiosis in individuals with ASD is characterized by altered microbial communities, including increased
