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

backgroundThis study aims to validate the content and evaluate the usability of the Autism App for screening children with autism spectrum disorder.

methodsThis methodological study was conducted between August 2023 and March 2024. The study included 15 experts for content validation and nine for usability evaluation, all of whom had experience in the health/technology field. Content validation data were analyzed using the Content Validity Ratio (CVR), and usability was assessed through heuristics using the MATcH-MED instrument.

resultsThe content validation showed satisfactory CVR values, ensuring the validity of the developed application, with suggestions for revisions regarding aims and structure. The usability evaluation yielded an overall average score of 50.9 points, classified as a high level of usability.

conclusionThe results demonstrated that the App-Autismo has adequate evidence of content validity and usability. By incorporating the experts' suggestions, this tool can be tested in future research for its effectiveness and efficiency.
