| Abstract |
Concentrations of melatonin in overnight and first-voiding urine samples from 10 people with autism, 15 parents, 1 grandparent, 9 sibs without autism, and 10 healthy, unrelated volunteers, were measured by radioimmunoassay. Those with autism had significantly higher melatonin concentrations in the first voiding samples than controls. Groups did not differ in overnight melatonin concentrations. These preliminary results warrant replication and extension. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 June 2012.
All research outputs
#7,528,880
of 22,974,684 outputs
Outputs from European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
#808
of 1,650 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,987
of 21,065 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,974,684 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,650 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.0. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 21,065 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
