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

aimsBased on the observed correlation between core symptoms and fine motor function in children with ASD, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a novel, fine motor task-oriented sports game intervention, compared to traditional SI.

methodsForty-five children with ASD were randomly allocated to two groups. The experimental group received the fine motor-oriented sports game intervention, while the control group received traditional SI. Core symptoms and fine motor function were assessed using the ABC, CABS, CARS, and PDMS-FM scales at both baseline and post-intervention, with the ABC scale serving as the primary outcome measure.

resultsIn the randomized comparison, the experimental group showed superior outcomes to the control group post-intervention, with significantly greater reductions in ABC, CARS, and CABS scores and a greater increase in PDMS-FM score (all P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe fine motor-oriented sports game intervention proved more effective than SI in ameliorating the core symptoms and improving fine motor function in children with ASD.

trial registrationThe study has been registered at ChiCTR.org (ChiCTR2400086052) on 2024-06-24.
