Adaptive Gaze Strategies to Reduce Environmental Uncertainty During a Sequential Visuomotor Behaviour.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
People must decide where, when, and for how long to allocate gaze to perform different motor behaviours. However, the factors guiding gaze during these ongoing, natural behaviours are poorly understood. Gaze shifts help acquire information, suggesting that people should direct gaze to locations where environmental details most relevant to the task are uncertain. To explore this, human subjects stepped on a series of targets as they walked. We used different levels of target uncertainty, and through instruction, altered the importance of (or subjective value assigned to) foot-placement accuracy. Gaze time on targets increased with greater target uncertainty when precise foot placement was more important, and these longer gaze times associated with reduced foot-placement error. Gaze times as well as the gaze shifts to and from targets relative to stepping differed depending on the target's position in the sequence and uncertainty level. Overall, we show that gaze is allocated to reduce uncertainty about target locations, and this depends on the value of this information gain for successful task performance. Furthermore, we show that the spatial-temporal pattern of gaze to resolve uncertainty changes with the evolution of the motor behaviour, indicating a flexible strategy to plan and control movement.
