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

purposeChildren with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at risk for exclusion from play with their peers due to difficulty with communication skills. Video augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technology has the potential to support communication within the context of play using videos with integrated visual scene displays. This study investigated the effect of a video AAC intervention on the number of turns in which children with ASD demonstrated symbolic communication during interactions with a peer without disabilities. Maintenance of skills, generalization to untrained play scenarios, and stakeholder perceptions of the video AAC technology were also investigated.

methodThis study used a single-case, multiple-probe design across participant dyads. It included baseline, intervention, maintenance, and generalization phases. Six children with ASD and six peers participated in the study. RESULTS AND

conclusionsAll six participants with ASD demonstrated an increase in the number of turns in which they demonstrated at least one symbolic communication act following intervention, although one participant demonstrated variability in baseline performance, making it difficult to draw conclusions. Results provide preliminary evidence that instruction with video AAC technology can support communication for children with ASD during play interactions with peers.
