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
introductionAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition with implications for self-consciousness and autobiographical memory. This study investigates the relationship between self-consciousness, autobiographical memory, and associated neurobiological structures in ASD.
methodsThere were two groups: autism (N = 4) and a control group without autism symptoms (n = 8), which underwent a 2-day LiveCam camera recording and subsequent functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) tasks with familiar ("old") and unfamiliar ("new") images. Results revealed distinct hemodynamic patterns in brain regions related to self-awareness, memory recall, and language comprehension.
resultsIn the control group, the presentation of "old" images elicited higher oxyhemoglobin concentration changes in the frontopolar, orbitofrontal, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and temporal areas. For "new" images, differences extended to DLPFC, frontal and temporal areas, somatosensory cortex, and subcentral areas between groups. Autobiographical memory tests indicated that individuals with ASD struggled to recall specific memories and exhibited differences in memory themes and narrative length compared to the control group. While emotional elements were preserved, sensory details were often overlooked.
conclusionThe findings suggest that challenges in accessing and integrating autobiographical memories and self-related information may impact the development of a stable self-identity in ASD. The study underscores the importance of understanding the neural basis of self-consciousness and memory in autism, offering insights into potential areas for intervention and support.
