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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) involves challenges in communication and social interaction, including challenges in recognizing emotions. Existing technological solutions aim to improve social behaviors in individuals with ASD by providing learning aids. This paper presents a real-time environmental translator designed to enhance social behaviors in individuals with ASD using sensory substitution. Our system utilizes vibrotactile and visual feedback to interpret and convey emotional states through vibration patterns emitted from small vibration motors on the user's temple, complemented by color-coded displays of emotional intensity. It can detect seven emotions: neutral, sad, happy, angry, disgust, surprise, and fear. Testing with adults with ASD showed they could adapt to the system in about 19 min, enabling them to intuitively and immediately recognize others' emotions. This innovative approach presents a promising advancement in emotion recognition technology for individuals with ASD, offering potential benefits in enhancing their social interactions and communication skills.
