“…After reading the full text, five studies met the inclusion criteria and three were included in the final analysis 12,13,17 . Two studies were included in the overall interpretation but not included in the meta-analysis due to the use of an assessment tool not used by the others 18,19 . The reasons for excluding the 14 full texts were as follows: 8 did not answer our systematic review question [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] , 1 was retracted by the journal due to incorrect data 28 , 2 were case reports 29,30 and 3 were open-label trials [31][32][33] .…”

“…Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of the included studies. Among them, two studies were conducted in New Zealand 12,17 , one in Egypt 18 , one in Iran 19 and one in Ireland 13 . All five studies were published in English between 2014 and 2019, and the five selected trials recruited 349 participants aged 2-12 years diagnosed with ASD (309 were male and 40 were female).…”

“…Vitamin D supplementation was in the form of cholecalciferol in all five RCTs. For the intervention group, the daily doses were 2,000 IU/day in four RCTs, and the remaining study used 300 IU/kg/day not to exceed 5,000 IU/ day 19 . All included studies except one were placebo-controlled.…”

“…Risk for bias in the included studies Figure 2 shows the risk for bias. Two studies 18,19 that did not mention the method of random-sequence generation were considered to have unclear risk for randomization bias.

Objective: The effect of vitamin D supplementation on the risk of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is conflicting. The aim of this study was to estimate the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation on ASD in children. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which vitamin D supplementation was used as a therapy in children with ASD. The PubMed, PsychINFO, Cochrane CENTRAL library, Web of Science, and Cinahl databases were searched from inception to March 20, 2019, for all publications on vitamin D and ASD with no restrictions. Studies involving individuals aged <18 years diagnosed with ASD and with all functional outcomes assessed by measurement scales for ASD were included. Mean differences were pooled, and a meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model due to differences between the individual RCTs. Results: There were five RCTs with 349 children with ASD in the review, of which three RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Vitamin D supplementation indicated a small but significant improvement in hyperactivity scores (pooled MD: −3.20; 95% CI: [−6.06, −0.34]) with low heterogeneity (I 2 = 10%, p = 0.33), but there were no other statistically significant differences in ASD symptoms between groups as measured by validated scales. Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation appears to be beneficial for hyperactivity but not for core symptoms or other co-existing behaviors and conditions of ASD. Future RCTs with large sample sizes examining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on ASD among individuals with low serum vitamin D levels at baseline are needed.

We conducted a network meta-analysis to assess and rank the efficacy of different physical activities on motor function, social function, communication, and stereotyped behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder. PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched through May 25, 2023. A total of 37 studies involving 1200 participants and 17 interventions were included in our study. Based on the ranking probabilities, Tai Chi Chuan and fundamental motor skill intervention were ranked as possibly the most effective intervention for motor function and communication, respectively. Kata techniques had the highest probability of being best for stereotyped behavior and social function. This review provides valuable information that physical activity can be a useful strategy in the management of autism spectrum disorder.
