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

Introduction: In the context of a global push for child-friendly environments, this study investigates the specific design needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in museum settings. The objective is to develop a user-centered evaluation model that can inform inclusive design strategies. Methods: We propose an integrated methodology combining the Kano model, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and the PUGH matrix to assess and optimize museum design for autistic children. Results reveal that designs tailored to user needs significantly improve key experience factors, such as emotional engagement, interaction, and safety. Results: In particular, the "Science and Technology Interactive Museum" option-featuring AR/VR interaction and spatial guidance-achieved the highest satisfaction scores in our evaluation. This design improvements lead to an approximate 23% increase in user satisfaction, significantly enhancing the overall museum experience for autistic children. Discussion: These findings demonstrate the value of structured user-driven design approaches in enhancing cognitive and emotional engagement for autistic children in museum environments.
