Feasibility of one-month home-based HRV monitoring in ASD: a case study using smart clothing technology.
Article in Frontiers in digital health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Sleep disturbances and autonomic dysregulation are common in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet few studies have examined long-term nocturnal heart rate variability (HRV) in home settings. Objective: This study evaluated the feasibility of one-month home-based HRV monitoring using smart clothing in a preschooler with ASD, and explored whether nocturnal HRV predicts next-day problem behaviors. Methods: HRV was recorded nightly for 25 valid days using a garment-type wearable ECG. Problem behaviors were reported daily by caregivers. HRV indices were compared between nights preceding days with and without problem behaviors using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Results: No significant differences in total sleep time or HRV indices were found between the two day types. Conclusion: Although HRV did not predict next-day behavior, the study demonstrates the feasibility and methodological transparency of long-term home-based physiological monitoring in young children with ASD.
