Autism and Schizotypal Traits in Relation to Thought-Action Fusion in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Article in Actas espanolas de psiquiatria, 2026. 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
backgroundThought-Action Fusion (TAF) is one of the cognitive variables and thought misinterpretations that have been extensively studied in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). However, further research is needed on the specific factors contributing to the development of TAF in patients with OCD. Since autistic traits and TAF are related to cognitive processes, we hypothesized in this study that autistic traits as well as schizotypal traits and obsessive-compulsive symptoms may be associated with TAF severity in OCD patients.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, eighty-three patients (aged 18 to 65) with OCD were assessed using the Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ), Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), Thought-Action Fusion Scale (TAFS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI).
resultsWe found that attention switching, attention to detail, and communication dimensions of the AQ were associated with higher TAF-Likelihood/Self. There was a significant association between attention shifting and TAF-Moral, while attention to detail was significantly associated with TAF Likelihood/Others. Y-BOCS-Total (β = 0.338, p = 0.001), and cognitive-perceptual traits (β = 0.295, p = 0.018) were significantly associated with TAF-Moral. Likelihood/Self dimension of TAF was significantly associated with Y-BOCS-total (β = 0.386, p < 0.001), BDI (β = -0.333, p = 0.017), AQ-Total (β = 0.250, p < 0.001) and Cognitive-Perceptual schizotypal traits (β = 0.289, p = 0.016). The severity of TAF-Likelihood/Others was significantly associated with Y-BOCS-Total (β = 0.279, p = 0.012).
conclusionsWe suggest that in addition to the severity of OCD and cognitive-perceptual traits, higher autistic traits may also contribute to increased levels of TAF-Likelihood/Self.
