Feasibility of Actigraphy for Evaluating Sleep and Daytime Physical Activity in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
This research evaluated the feasibility of actigraphy to measure sleep and physical activity in children (ages 2-8 years) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also explored associations between sleep and physical activity. Validated screening measures established eligibility. Questionnaires, diaries, and 5 days and 5 nights of actigraphy monitoring were used to collect data. Of the 32 children enrolled, 27 (84.4%) completed actigraphy monitoring. Based on the median steps per day, children with high physical activity had lower total sleep time and more disruptive behaviors than children with low physical activity. Findings support the feasibility of using actigraphy to measure sleep and physical activity in children with ASD. Larger studies are needed to evaluate interactions of physical activity on sleep in this population.
