Relationships Between Autistic Trait Dimensions and Speech Understanding, Affective Sound Intolerance, and Self-Reported Hearing Difficulties.

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
Background: Decreased sound tolerance (DST) is a disabling transdiagnostic phenomenon with high clinical relevance in autism. Neurodevelopmental DST is often studied as part of a general multisensory construct that includes both hyper- and hyposensitivity. Therefore, knowledge about the potential relevance of individual differences in the auditory modality is lacking. The purpose of the study was to begin to differentiate between commonly pooled auditory functions, by incorporating psychometric tools from the field of audiology. Methods: In a pilot sample ( Results: We found that all autistic traits measured by the BAPQ (social, communicative, and rigid) linearly predicted affective DST, and these associations remained when autistic participants were excluded. Difficulties with speech perception, as well as spatial perception and auditory stream segregation, were most strongly predicted by communication differences. Conclusion: The robust relationship between autistic traits and emotional sound reactivity suggests that affective DST falls on a spectrum just like autism. This argues against strict dichotomization and encourages the use of continuous measures. The results support a dominant role for emotional and stress systems in autism-related DST and may suggest that detailed audiological tests are clinically useful, in particular, in the context of pragmatic language difficulties.
