Translational research approach to social orienting deficits in autism: the role of superior colliculus-ventral tegmental pathway.
Article in Molecular psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social interaction and repetitive behaviors. A key characteristic of ASD is a decreased interest in social interactions, which affects individuals' ability to engage with their social environment. This study explores the neurobiological basis of these social deficits, focusing on the pathway between the Superior Colliculus (SC) and the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA). Adopting a translational approach, our research used Shank3 knockout mice (Shank3
