"My child before and now": parental perceptions of changes in functioning following participation in the global integration method (Método de Integração Global) in children with autism spectrum disorder.
Trial report in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) impacts children's functioning and participation. Functionality-centered interventions, such as the Global Integration Method (Método de Integração Global-MIG), have been proposed in this context. Understanding parental perceptions is relevant to evaluate their effects on children's daily lives. Objective: To explore parental perceptions of changes in functioning following participation in the MIG program among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), interpreted through the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Methods: This qualitative study was conducted as an embedded component of an ongoing randomized controlled trial evaluating outcomes associated with participation in the MIG program in children with ASD. Parents of children allocated to the intervention group ( Results: Findings were organized into three categories: previous experiences with conventional interventions, perceived changes following participation in MIG, and general perceptions of the program. Parents described previous interventions as fragmented, difficult to access, and associated with inconsistent functional experiences. Following participation in MIG, caregivers reported perceived changes related to body functions, particularly motor and communicative aspects, as well as changes in daily activities and social and school participation. Parents also described positive experiences regarding program organization, family support, and expectations regarding future participation and autonomy. Conclusion: Parents reported perceived changes in functioning following participation in MIG and described positive experiences related to the intervention process.
