Disrupted sensorimotor predictions in high autistic characteristics.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Humans maintain a stable view of the world by omitting self-generated motion during rapid eye movements, or saccades. An efferent copy of the saccade motor command informs visual processing about the self-produced motion. However, efference copy information has been demonstrated to be disrupted in individuals with high autistic traits. Here, we investigated saccadic omission in participants with high vs. low autistic traits. Participants made saccades to peripheral targets and reported the location of drifting gratings that became visible during saccade execution. Sensitivity to motion was also assessed in a fixation condition, where retinal velocities matched those experienced during saccades. Our findings reveal that individuals with heightened autistic traits exhibit significantly reduced sensitivity to motion during saccades compared to those with low autistic traits, while no Autistic Quotient-dependent differences were observed in the fixation condition. These results suggest that impairments in sensorimotor processing affect the ability of individuals with high autistic traits to predict how their own movements affect the sensory input. The lack of sensorimotor integration might explain the sensory overload that autistics frequently experience.
