Structured-Visual Model for Dental Examination in Autism Spectrum Disorder Children: Cooperation and Compliance.
Article in International dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionChildren diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may experience challenges in social interaction, communication, and sensory processing, which might influence their cooperative behavior during dental visits. To address this issue, visual pedagogy is commonly employed as a behavioral technique to facilitate successful dental examinations and treatments.
objectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a structured-visual behavioral approach in promoting compliance and cooperation during dental examinations in children with ASD in the Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia.
methodsA structured visual study was performed at the Muhammadiyah University Dental Hospital during the 2021-2022 period. The study included 5 intervention visits at 1-week intervals and consisted of the Success Approach, Tell-Show-Feel-Do, Visual Pedagogy, Audiovisual Modeling, In vivo Modelling, Behavioral Trial, and Auto modeling. A total of 37 ASD children who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The study employed a quasi-experimental design comprising 1 pre-test and 3 post-tests. The efficacy assessment encompassed 2 key dimensions: firstly, the ability to comply with the stages of the dental examination, and secondly, the degree of cooperation was evaluated using the Frankl Behavior Scale (FBS).
resultsThe findings showed that 64% of the cohort could achieve the highest score in achieving the highest score stage of dental examination in post-test 1. As for cooperation, 75% achieved a score of 4 (FBS) in post-test 1. Changes in the achievement of examination steps and cooperativeness after completing the intervention showed statistically significant changes with the Wilcoxon test (P < .01).
conclusionThe structured-visual behavioral model approach was found to be effective in improving compliance and cooperation during dental examination in children with ASD in Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings highlight the important point that the use of a structured-visual model in daily practice can be beneficial for children with ASD.
