Wearable Biosensors in Youth With Autism With High Behavioral Acuity: Supportive Practices, Acceptability, and the Importance of Nonverbal Signs of Assent to Research Participation.
Article in American journal on intellectual and developmental disabilities, 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
Wearable biosensors can provide insight into the internal states of individuals with autism with communication challenges; however, sensory sensitivities may make wearable biosensors uncomfortable. We describe our approach for introducing a wrist-worn biosensor (Empatica E4) to participants and using supportive techniques. Most participants (76.6%) were able to wear the biosensor for a duration of 15 minutes. The option to wear a colorful sweatband over the biosensor, verbal encouragement, and edible rewards were found to be helpful. Data collection was unsuccessful for the 23.4% of participants who did not accept wearing the device, which was more common for minimally speaking participants. Tailored approaches and attention to nonverbal signs of assent or discomfort are essential for conducting wearable biosensor research with individuals with autism.
