The Evolutionary Logic of Autism: Adaptive Traits, Genetic Trade-Offs, and the DCIDE Framework

This repository contains the curated dataset, threshold file, and final network outputs used in the co-occurrence analysis of autism and evolutionary models. All files are provided with MD5 checksums for verification. Files included: pubmed-autismORau-set.txt (24.16 MB)The full deduplicated dataset retrieved from PubMed using the query autism OR AU. Records were processed through exact DOI/PMID matching and fuzzy title–author matching (95% token-sort similarity threshold). thr.txt (4.19 KB)The applied thesaurus/threshold file used to harmonize terminology and set network thresholds in VOSviewer. This file ensures reproducibility of the node and edge selections. 50.json (95.45 KB)The processed co-occurrence network file (VOSviewer JSON format) containing the final retained nodes and links after thresholding. This is the exact file used to generate the published figure. 50.png (3.66 MB)High-resolution image export of the final co-occurrence network, corresponding directly to the figure included in the manuscript.
