How disability and assistive technologies knowledge might shape transhumanist orientations: a pilot study among Romanian adults.

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 pilot study examines disability knowledge, everyday interactions with people with disabilities (PWD), emotional responses to disability, familiarity with assistive technologies, and transhumanist orientation among 863 Romanian adults aged 19 to 45. Results suggested that participants generally reported limited knowledge about disability and assistive technologies, with sadness emerging as the dominant emotional response to disability. Greater disability knowledge was associated with higher knowledge of assistive technologies, which in turn predicted a stronger transhumanist orientation. Assistive technology knowledge mediated the relationship between disability knowledge and transhumanist orientation. Positive interactions with people with disabilities were linked to stronger endorsement of transhumanist orientations. These exploratory findings suggest that assistive technologies may function as a conceptual bridge between social understandings of disability and broader orientations about human enhancement, highlighting the importance of knowledge of assistive technologies in shaping contemporary disability attitudes.
