Pictogram room augmented reality technology games improve body knowledge, imitation, and joint attention skills in autistic children with intellectual disability.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Body knowledge, imitation, and joint attention are foundational for child development, yet many autistic children with intellectual disability struggle to acquire these skills. This study evaluated the effects of an educational intervention using Pictogram Room (PR), an open-access augmented reality (AR) technology program with games targeting these abilities. Twenty-three autistic children with intellectual disability (ages 7-14) from Spain, Bulgaria, and Türkiye participated. A stepped wedge randomized design was implemented across two groups. Over 27 sessions, delivered in their usual educational settings by their regular staff, participants showed significant and sustained improvements in body knowledge, imitation, and joint attention. This is the first AR-based intervention shown to simultaneously enhance these three core skills in this population. The program is brief, socially valid, and requires no specialized training, making it a promising tool for inclusive educational practice.
