Drawing therapy based on embodied cognition theory on emotional expression and social behavior in students with autism: a mixed-methods study.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often characterized by deficits in emotional expression and social functioning. Existing interventions tend to emphasize behavioral correction, often overlooking the role of bodily movement in cognitive reconstruction and neglecting the emotional-metaphorical function of cultural symbols that may limit therapeutic effectiveness. Methods: This mixed-method study randomly assigned 60 ASD students aged 6-19 into an intervention group ( Results: Quantitative analyses revealed that the intervention group showed significantly greater improvements than the control group in self-concept (ΔTSCS = 29.37, Conclusion: The EC-DT model significantly improves emotional expression, social behavior, and self-concept among autistic students through multisensory integration and culturally embedded embodied experiences. These findings support the development of localized, culturally responsive intervention frameworks. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm the durability of these therapeutic effects.
