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) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder often accompanied by cognitive impairments. Computerized cognitive training (CCT) has emerged as a scalable and engaging intervention to address these deficits. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of CCT in improving cognitive functions among children and adolescents with ASD. A comprehensive search across seven databases was conducted from inception to February 24, 2025, supplemented by manual searches. A total of 15 studies involving 763 children and adolescents with ASD, aged 3 to 15 years, were included. CCT significantly improved social cognition, executive function, and attention. However, long-term follow-up data were limited. CCT holds potential as a complementary intervention for cognitive deficits in ASD, particularly through adaptive and immersive technologies. Future research should prioritize longitudinal designs, ecological validity, and standardized protocols to optimize clinical utility.
