Facial expressions and emotional experience during social interaction in autism and schizophrenia.
Article in Schizophrenia (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
Blunted affect is a transdiagnostic feature that impairs social functioning across psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia and autism. We quantified facial expression patterns and subjective emotional experience during standardized social interaction in 38 individuals with schizophrenia, 16 autistic adults, and 39 neurotypical adults using automated facial expression analysis. During social interaction, individuals with schizophrenia displayed more neutral expressions and reduced valence and arousal compared to neurotypical adults, whereas autistic adults showed typical facial expressions but subjectively experienced lower positive affect. These findings highlight distinct emotional profiles in schizophrenia and autism within social interactions, with blunted facial affect characterizing schizophrenia and reduced subjective positive affect characterizing autism.
