1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

How does one's sense of identity change when one feels disconnected from one's own body? To explore this, we induced a perceptual illusion that diminished participants' sense of ownership over their bodies using asynchronous visuotactile stimulation in sixty-six healthy individuals. Moreover, we asked them to rate how much certain personality traits described themselves. We found that reduced body ownership was linked to more dispersed self-description clusters. Control analyses confirmed that this main finding was not driven by unspecific semantic factors or asynchronous visuotactile stimulation alone. Thus, our results highlight the flexibility and interconnection between the bodily and conceptual aspects of the sense of self, which has important implications for dissociative experiences and overall mental health.
