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

purposeRecent findings indicate that adults with developmental prosopagnosia (DP) retain the ability to recognize objects despite having severe facial recognition deficits, suggesting that facial recognition deficits in these individuals are specific. However, the existence of face-specific deficits in children with DP remains unclear. The present study aimed to examine whether face-specific deficits exist in children with DP.

methodsIn Experiment 1, a learning recognition paradigm was adopted to investigate the specificity of facial recognition deficits in 7-14-year-old children. The object and facial recognition scores were compared between the DP and control groups. In Experiment 2, animal faces were included to further explore whether the specific deficit is unique to human faces or extends to animal faces.

resultsIn Experiment 1, compared with the control group, the DP group presented significantly lower facial recognition scores, whereas the object recognition scores did not significantly differ. In Experiment 2, the DP group had significantly lower human and animal facial recognition scores compared with the control group, but no significant differences in the object recognition scores were observed.

conclusionThis study confirms that face-specific deficits exist in children with DP and that such deficits exist for both human and animal faces.
