WHAT IT FOUND

This paper has been retracted and contains critical errors, including contradictory descriptions of participants (university students vs. autistic children) and an implausibly small sample size (n=5).

It does not provide reliable evidence for clinical practice.

What this paper is

This is a retracted publication. The text contains severe machine translation errors, internal contradictions regarding the study design (describing both university students and autistic children), and reports an experiment with only 5 participants in the experimental group (degrees of freedom = 4). Due to its retraction and fundamental flaws in reporting, it cannot be summarised as valid clinical evidence.

What it does not show

The publication is retracted. The text is heavily machine-translated and incoherent. The study population is inconsistently described as both university students and autistic children. The reported experimental group size is extremely small (degrees of freedom = 4 implies n=5), making statistical inference invalid.

The easy way to misread this

Do not use any information from this paper. It is retracted, internally contradictory, and methodologically unsound.
