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

Previously, we have shown that the reaction times (RTs) of exogenously generated saccadic eye movements decrease with an increase in the number of response alternatives (Lawrence et al. in J Vis 8(26):1-7, 2008; Lawrence and Gardella in Exp Brain Res 195(3):413-418, 2009). Because this pattern of RTs is in the direction opposite that predicted by Hick (Q J Exp Psychol 4:11-26, 1952), we termed the effect an "anti-Hick's" effect. In the present study, we examined whether this effect characterizes saccades in general, or only those saccades that are exogenously generated. An anti-Hick's effect was found for exogenous, but not for endogenous, saccades. These results demonstrate a clear dissociation between exogenously and endogenously generated saccades and place an important constraint on the anti-Hick's effect.
