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

Observational behavior analysis plays a key role for the discovery and evaluation of risk markers for many neurodevelopmental disorders. Research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggests that behavioral risk markers can be observed at 12 months of age or earlier, with diagnosis possible at 18 months. To date, these studies and evaluations involving observational analysis tend to rely heavily on clinical practitioners and specialists who have undergone intensive training to be able to reliably administer carefully designed behavioural-eliciting tasks, code the resulting behaviors, and interpret such behaviors. These methods are therefore extremely expensive, time-intensive, and are not easily scalable for large population or longitudinal observational analysis. We developed a self-contained, closed-loop, mobile application with movie stimuli designed to engage the child's attention and elicit specific behavioral and social responses, which are recorded with a mobile device camera and then analyzed via computer vision algorithms. Here, in addition to presenting this paradigm, we validate the system to measure engagement, name-call responses, and emotional responses of toddlers with and without ASD who were presented with the application. Additionally, we show examples of how the proposed framework can further risk marker research with fine-grained quantification of behaviors. The results suggest these objective and automatic methods can be considered to aid behavioral analysis, and can be suited for objective automatic analysis for future studies.
