The Impact of STEM Activities on Social Skills and Emotional-Behavioral Outcomes in Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often lack the social skills required for interpersonal interactions, highlighting the urgent need for evidence-based intervention programs. STEM activities that emphasize collaboration and communication offer a new pathway for social skill development. This study developed an adaptive STEM project-based learning instructional framework teaching model and employed a multiple-probe across-participant design to evaluate the participants' social skills achievement rates and frequency of emotional and behavioral incidents. The results indicated that STEM activities exerted positive intervention effects; they effectively improved social skills (including cooperation, empathy, engagement, and communication) in students with ASD and reduced the occurrence of emotional and behavioral problems. Feedback from teachers, parents, and students further confirmed the social validity of STEM activities. Finally, recommendations for implementing STEM education among students with ASD are proposed from three perspectives: constructing interdisciplinary collaboration mechanisms, developing adaptive STEM curricula, and implementing dynamic teaching support strategies.
