Autistic imagination sub-traits are unrelated to visual temporal integration or inference.
Article in i-Perception. 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
Autistic individuals experience atypical temporal integration, and previous studies have suggested that this atypicality is related to difficulties in imagination. Temporal integration in vision was assessed using slit-viewing tasks that require unifying successive partial views of a moving target into a coherent percept. This task also requires inference ability when the targets are complex, as in line drawings. We hypothesized that imagination difficulties would be more closely related to inference difficulties than to temporal integration difficulties. To test this, we conducted an experiment with 67 Japanese university students using slit-viewing tasks with line drawings, characters, and meaningless shapes, as well as a fill-in-the-blank task involving word inference. The results showed that neither imagination difficulties nor overall autistic traits were associated with performance in any of these tasks. These findings suggest that imagination difficulties and autistic traits may not be related to visual temporal integration or inference abilities.
