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
Introduction: Joint attention (JA) is a fundamental aspect of social interaction and a cornerstone of social communication. This study explores factors influencing JA in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using an interactive, dual eye-tracking paradigm during a tangram puzzle computer gameplay. The JA performance of adults with ASD and a typically developing non-clinical control group (TD-NCC) was assessed alongside partner familiarity (familiar / stranger), partner roles (presenter / operator) and gaze cue (present / absent). Two main objectives were: 1) to evaluate JA through gaze recurrence (GR) in adults with ASD, and 2) to examine the effect of partner familiarity on JA by comparing the performance in the task conducted with either a familiar or an unfamiliar partner (stranger). Methods: The sample consisted of 42 participants (21 adults with ASD; ages 18-50, 9 females and 12 males and 21 TD-NCC; ages 21-50, 11 females and 10 males). Two non-intrusive desktop eye trackers simultaneously recorded gaze during the JA tangram task. Gaze recurrence was used as an indicator of JA. The gaze cue (present/absent) was a semi-transparent indicator showing where to look. Additionally, to control for potential eye pathophysiology in JA, saccade and anti-saccade tasks were applied to the eye movements of each participant. Results: The Linear Mixed Effect Model revealed that GR was significantly lower in the ASD group compared to controls. However, the presence of a gaze cue significantly improved the ASD group's GR, especially when interacting with a familiar partner under gaze-cue on conditions. Conclusion: Understanding factors influencing JA in autism may foster further exploratory studies and significantly impact future research. Eye movements may serve as objective, quantitative, and non-invasive biomarkers for ASD, particularly in interactive gaming contexts.
