Effective Autism Classification Through Grasping Kinematics.
Article in Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, where motor abnormalities play a central role alongside social and communication difficulties. These motor symptoms often manifest in early childhood, making them critical targets for early diagnosis and intervention. This study aimed to assess whether kinematic features from a naturalistic grasping task could accurately distinguish autistic participants from non-autistic ones. We analyzed grasping movements of autistic and non-autistic young adults, tracking two markers placed on the thumb and index finger. Using a subject-wise cross-validated classifiers, we achieved accuracy scores of above 84%. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed strong classification performance with area under the curve values of above 0.95 at the subject-wise analysis and above 0.85 at the trial-wise analysis. These findings indicate strong reliability in accurately distinguishing autistic participants from non-autistic ones. These findings suggest that subtle motor control differences can be effectively captured, offering a promising approach for developing accessible and reliable diagnostic tools for autism.
