Inquiry and innovation: Considering curiosity and creativity in autism.
Review in Acta psychologica, 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
Curiosity and creativity are faculties that support innovation, achievement and emotional well-being. They are early-appearing and lifelong, serving a critical role in human development. In this paper, we suggest that these essential capabilities have been broadly overlooked in our understanding and description of development in autistic individuals. We critically evaluate two assumptions: that curiosity and creativity are (1) diminished and/or (2) different in autism. In support of future research, we provide a number of suggestions for how we, and other important stakeholders like educators, parents, and providers, can deepen our appreciation for the ways in which curiosity and creativity might be expressed in autism. We also aim to highlight the ways in which curiosity and creativity can support personal growth and flourishing across the lifespan in autistic individuals, just as they do for nonautistic individuals.
