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

Hypnotizability is a psychophysiological trait associated with structural variation in brain regions implicated in time perception, such as the cerebellum and the insula. This study investigated time reproduction across different interval durations in individuals with varying levels of hypnotizability. Forty healthy, right-handed participants of both sexes were assessed using the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form A and completed a time reproduction task consisting of visually presented intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 8 s (10 trials per duration). Relative proportional error (RE) and absolute proportional error (AE) were analyzed using mixed-effects models estimating the interaction between hypnotizability and interval duration through polynomial contrasts, with random intercepts and duration slopes for participants. Heart rate, sex, trait anxiety, and absorption were included as covariates. RE showed only a significant main effect of interval duration, with shorter intervals overestimated and longer intervals underestimated. AE showed a significant interaction between hypnotizability and the linear component of interval duration, indicating that higher hypnotizability was associated with a steeper decrease in AE as interval duration increased. The relatively lower precision at shorter intervals is consistent with attenuated sensory processing, whereas the relatively higher precision at longer intervals may reflect better functional coupling between executive and salience networks previously observed in highly hypnotizable individuals. The reduced precision at shorter intervals may be more consistent with cerebellar than insular involvement. Differences in time perception may be linked to reported associations between hypnotizability and an altered sense of agency and body ownership.
