Enhancing motor coordination and social interaction in children with autism through virtual reality rehabilitation.
Observational study in Medicine, 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
This study evaluates the effects of virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation on motor coordination and social interaction in children with autism and explores related neural mechanisms and caregiver perspectives. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 children with autism who underwent either VR-based or conventional rehabilitation. Outcomes included motor performance, social behaviors, training adherence, caregiver satisfaction, and brain activation assessed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Compared with conventional training, VR rehabilitation was associated with greater improvements in motor coordination and social engagement. Enhanced activation was observed in brain regions linked to motor control and social cognition. Higher training adherence was positively correlated with caregiver satisfaction. VR-based rehabilitation can effectively support motor and social development in children with autism while improving treatment adherence and caregiver acceptance. These findings highlight VR as a promising tool for personalized pediatric neurorehabilitation.
