Variability in the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex and Vestibular Perception.
Article in Neuroscience, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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
The vestibular system enables humans to estimate self-motion, stabilize gaze and maintain posture, but these behaviors are impacted by neural noise at all levels of processing (e.g., sensory, central, motor). Despite its essential importance, the behavioral impact of noise in human vestibular pathways is not completely understood. Here, we characterize the vestibular imprecision that results from neural noise by measuring trial-to-trial vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) variability and perceptual just-noticeable differences (JNDs) in the same human subjects as a function of stimulus intensity. We used head-centered yaw rotations about an Earth-vertical axis over a broad range of motion velocities (0-65°/s for VOR variability and 3-90°/s peak velocity for JNDs). We found that VOR variability increased from approximately 0.6°/s at a chair velocity of 1°/s to approximately 3°/s at 65°/s; it exhibited a stimulus-independent range below roughly 1°/s. Perceptual imprecision ("sigma") increased from 0.76°/s at 3°/s to 4.7°/s at 90°/s. Using stimuli that manipulated the relationship between velocity, displacement and acceleration, we found that velocity was the salient cue for VOR variability for our motion stimuli. VOR and perceptual imprecision both increased with stimulus intensity and were broadly similar over a range of stimulus velocities, consistent with a common noise source that affects motor and perceptual pathways. This contrasts with differing perceptual and motor stimulus-dependent imprecision in visual studies. Either stimulus-dependent noise or non-linear signal processing could explain our results, but we argue that afferent non-linearities alone are unlikely to be the source of the observed behavioral stimulus-dependent imprecision.
