Enhancing Peer-Directed Social Communication in Autistic Children Using Video Visual Scene Displays.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 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
purposeMinimally speaking autistic children often experience significant challenges engaging in reciprocal social communication with peers. Although augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interventions using video-based visual scene displays (VSDs) have shown promise for supporting contextualized communication, limited research has examined their effects within reciprocal, peer-directed play contexts. This study evaluated the effects of a video-based VSD AAC intervention on peer-directed symbolic communication during.
methodsA single-case, multiple-probe design across dyads was used to examine intervention effects. Fifteen autistic children and 15 age-matched peers with neurotypical development participated in peer play sessions organized into three cohorts, with five dyads per cohort, to facilitate staggered intervention introduction. Following baseline probes using static printed VSDs, autistic children received a video-based VSD AAC intervention incorporating dynamic visual supports and speech-generating communication. The primary dependent variable was the frequency of peer-directed symbolic communication turns.
resultsAcross all cohorts, intervention implementation was associated with immediate increases in peer-directed symbolic communication. Visual analysis demonstrated consistent changes in level and immediacy of effect with minimal overlap between baseline and intervention phases. Tau-U analyses indicated large intervention effects across dyads, and maintenance probes suggested that gains were sustained following intervention completion.
conclusionFindings provide evidence that video-based VSD AAC interventions may support peer-directed symbolic communication among minimally speaking autistic children. Embedding AAC within reciprocal, play-based interactions may enhance opportunities for social participation and meaningful communication with peers.
