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

Objectives: IMPUTE Inc., a software firm dedicated to healthcare technology, has developed a mobile medical application known as IMPUTE ADT-1 for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on the principle of applied behavior analysis. Materials and Methods: The primary objective of this trial was to compare the efficacy of add-on treatment with IMPUTE ADT-1 in children with ASD aged two to six years as compared to standard care alone for 12 weeks (in terms of change in Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule [ADOS-2] scores). The secondary objective of the study was to assess the compliance with IMPUTE ADT-1 among participants and also to evaluate the feedback of parents regarding IMPUTE ADT-1 at the end of 12 weeks. The application provides personalized programs tailored to each user's needs, and the program evolves based on the user's progress. It also utilizes face tracking, eye tracking, and body tracking to gather behavior-related information for each child and apply it in reinforcement learning employing artificial intelligence-based algorithms. Results: Till the time of interim analysis, 37 and 33 children had completed 12-week follow-up in IMPUTE ADT-1 and control arm. At 12 weeks, as compared to baseline, change in social affect domain, repetitive ritualistic behavior domain, total ADOS-2 score, and ADOS-2 comparison score was better in the intervention group as compared to the control group ( Conclusion: IMPUTE ADT-1 mobile application has the efficacy to improve the severity of autism symptoms in children. Parents of these children also feel that the application is beneficial for improving the socialization and verbal communication of their children.
