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

purposeThis study examined the effectiveness of a therapist-managed smartphone application using video modeling to teach self-care skills to children with autism, compared with live modeling, while providing parents with remote therapist support.

methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, thirty-one children with ASD (aged 5-12 years) were randomly assigned to an intervention group (video modeling via smartphone; n = 16) or a comparison group (live modeling; n = 15). Outcome measures included the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Goal Attainment Scaling, and Activities of Daily Living Inventory for Children with Disabilities, Family Functioning Questionnaire in Rehabilitation, and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Assessments were conducted at baseline, one-month post-intervention, and one-month follow-up, and data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations.

resultsThe intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in self-care-related outcome measure scores (p < .05). No significant differences were found in Family Functioning Questionnaire in Rehabilitation or Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale scores.

conclusionThe therapist-managed video modeling application effectively enhanced self-care performance in children with ASD and offered a family-centered, time-efficient approach for remote intervention.
