Genetic and environmental architecture of synaesthesia and its association with the autism spectrum-a twin study.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Synaesthesia is a sensory phenomenon where external stimuli, such as sounds or letters, trigger additional sensations (e.g. colours). Synaesthesia aggregates in families but its heritability is unknown. The phenomenon is more common in people on the autism spectrum compared with the general population and associated with higher autistic traits. Using classical twin design, we assessed the heritability of individual differences in self-reported synaesthesia and the genetic and environmental contributions to their association with autistic traits within a population twin cohort (
