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

Objective: This study investigated the effects of an adapted physical activity (APA) program, based on the ICF-CY framework, on physical activity and social adaptive behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: 41 children with ASD (aged 6~12) were ultimately included and divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The EG received the APA intervention, while the CG participated in routine extracurricular physical activity sessions. Both groups received 24-week interventions, with 3 sessions per week, each lasting 80 minutes. Assessments were conducted before and after the intervention using the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer and the Child Adaptive Behavior Rating Scale (CABRS). Results: After 24 weeks, the EG showed significant improvements in adaptive behaviors (independent, cognitive, social/self-control, and total scores), reduced sedentary time, and increased light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity compared to the CG. Conclusions: The ICF-CY-based APA program effectively enhanced physical activity levels and social adaptive behaviors in children with ASD.
