Psychometric network analysis reveals how sensory processing relates to self-reflection traits in adolescence.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
While recent research links sensory processing to mental traits, this has scarcely been explored in adolescence, a period characterized by changes in self-reflection and onset of mental disorders. This study aims to fill this gap using psychometric network analyses to examine how sensory processing characteristics (somatosensation and interoception) relate to self-reflection traits (tendency to examine one's body, thoughts, and one's relation to others) in youths aged 10-25 (N = 816) and whether these associations change with sex and age. Results revealed an interconnected network of sensory and self-reflection variables, organized around three main communities. A first showed that elevated social anxiety is associated with heightened sensitivity to somatosensation; a second that positive reflection towards body appearance positively relate to confidence in interoceptive sensations; a third that reflection towards one's thoughts (private self-consciousness) linked interoceptive awareness with reflection related to others' thoughts. Some of these associations between sensory and self-reflection traits are stronger in girls and late adolescence, but results regarding age effects were inconsistent. These findings highlight the need to integrate sensorial aspects into our understanding of adolescents' psychology.
