Inferential Processing in Autistic and Non-Autistic Readers: New Opportunities for Inquiry.
Article in Quarterly journal of experimental psychology (2006), 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
This article discusses inferential processing during reading for autistic and non-autistic readers. We demonstrate the criticality of inferential processing for successful text comprehension, alongside evidence that inferential processing is often less efficient for autistic people relative to non-autistic people. We consider the cognitive mechanisms that may underpin inference generation and highlight the RI-Val (Resonance, Integration and Validation) theory as a potential framework that will allow for considerable theoretical development in this area. The RI-Val theory specifies how validation processes during comprehension are tied to attention shifts, which is a significant development in the conceptualisation of discourse processing. This creates a testable account which, if examined using online methods, provides considerable scope for the development of scientific understanding in relation to the inferential and social-communication differences associated with autism.
