Wearable Technology to Measure the Occurrence of Self-Injury During a Functional Analysis.
Article in Behavior modification, 2026. 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
Conducting a functional analysis (FA) is considered the gold standard for assessing the function of disruptive behavior and informing function-based treatment plans for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities. However, data collected during FAs are subject to human error. Accelerometers are wearable sensors that capture an individual's movement and can be used to identify behavioral events. The purpose of this study was to pilot the use of accelerometers to identify the occurrence of self-injurious behavior events during a FA. Three participants with autism, who engaged in self-hitting behaviors, participated in this study. Researchers conducted a FA with the participants while they wore small accelerometer devices. Observational data were collected using (1) live observation ("clinical-grade"), (2) from frame-by-frame video analysis ("research-grade"), and (3) via accelerometers. Researchers calculated interobserver agreement across data sets. Discussion of results and recommendations for practice and future research are included.
