Differing proportions of 'express saccade makers' in different human populations.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Debate continues about cultural influences on processes such as perception and memory. One underlying assumption is that high level, top-down influences that differ between populations (culture) act on identical brain structures and functions to produce different behaviours. More specifically, it has been reported that in various types of complex visual task, eye movement patterns differ systematically between Chinese and non-Chinese subjects. We investigated a relatively simple behaviour (reflexive eye saccades), comparing the saccade latency distributions of Chinese and Caucasian subjects. In a task in which the fixation target remained illuminated when the saccade target appeared (overlap task), 10 out of 34 (29%) Chinese subjects exhibited a high proportion (>30%) of low latency 'express' saccades. This pattern of response had been reported to be very uncommon in healthy, naïve subjects. We therefore subsequently confirmed that only 1 out of 38 Caucasian subjects exhibited it. The results suggest important population differences with regard to the expression of distinct oculomotor behaviours.
