Comments on Marken and Shaffer: The power law of movement: an example of a behavioral illusion.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Many researchers who have studied movements along curved paths, under a variety of conditions, by different organisms, mostly human but a couple with non-human organisms, have found a consistent form of relation between the tangential (along-track) instantaneous velocity V and the local radius of curvature R. The consistent relation is that V ≈ cR
