Revealing the kinematics of the oculomotor plant with tertiary eye positions and ocular counterroll.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Retinal information is two-dimensional, whereas eye movements are three-dimensional. The oculomotor system solves this degrees-of-freedom problem by constraining eye positions to zero torsion (Listing's law) and determining how eye velocities change with eye position (half-angle rule). Here we test whether the oculomotor plant, in the absence of well-defined neural commands, can implement these constrains mechanically, not just in a primary position but for all eye and head orientations. We stimulated the abducens nerve at tertiary eye positions and when ocular counterroll was induced at tilted head orientations. Stimulation-induced eye velocities follow the half-angle rule, even for tertiary eye positions, and microstimulation at tilted head orientations elicits eye positions that adhere to torsionally shifted planes, similar to naturally occurring eye movements. These results support the notion that oculomotor plant can continuously apply these three-dimensional rules correctly and appropriately for all eye and head orientations that obey Listing's law, demonstrating a major role of peripheral biomechanics in motor control.
