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

Background: A 12-month longitudinal observational study was conducted on 43 children aged 2-18 years to evaluate the effectiveness of the CognitiveBotics artificial intelligence (AI)-based platform in conjunction with continuous therapy in improving therapeutic outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Objective: This study evaluates the CognitiveBotics software's effectiveness in supporting children with ASD through structured, technology-assisted learning. The primary objectives include assessing user engagement, tracking progress, and measuring efficacy using standardized clinical assessments. Methods: A 12-month observational study was conducted on children diagnosed with ASD using the CognitiveBotics AI-based platform. Standardized assessments, include the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Vineland Social Maturity Scale, Developmental Screening Test, and Receptive Expressive Emergent Language Test (REEL), were conducted at baseline (T1) and at the endpoint (T2). All participants meeting the inclusion criteria were provided access to the platform and received standard therapy. Participants who consistently adhered to platform use as per the study protocol were classified as the intervention group, while those who did not maintain continuous platform use were designated as the control group. Additionally, caregivers received structured training, including web-based parent teaching sessions, reinforcement strategy training, and home-based activity guidance. Results: Participants in the intervention group demonstrated statistically significant improvements across multiple scales. CARS scores reduced from 33.41 (SD 1.89) at T1 to 28.34 (SD 3.80) at T2 ( Conclusions: Overall, the platform was an effective supplement in enhancing therapeutic outcomes for children with ASD. This platform holds promise as a valuable tool for augmenting ASD therapies across cognitive, social, and developmental domains. Future development should prioritize expanding the product's accessibility across various languages, ensuring cultural sensitivity and enhancing user-friendliness.
