1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and non-autistic adolescents and adults with cognitive and language skills in the average range completed a brief task assessing their susceptibility to the effects of image-sound associations, known as the Bouba-Kiki effect. Results indicated significant group differences such that the autism group was less likely to respond in accordance with the Bouba-Kiki effect. Further, nonverbal IQ and self-reported sensory-motor processing each influenced Bouba-Kiki responding. In contrast, language abilities (grammaticality judgment) did not. While findings based on a brief measure are not conclusive, results suggest that multisensory integration is less robust in autism and lend support to "embodied cognition" accounts of autism.
