1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Saccadic eye movements alter the visual processing of objects of interest by bringing them from the periphery, where there is only low-resolution vision, to the high-resolution fovea. Evidence suggests that people are able to achieve trans-saccadic integration in a near-optimal manner; however the mechanisms underlying integration are still unclear. Visual working memory (VWM) is sustained across a saccade, and it has been suggested that this memory resource is used to store and compare the pre- and post- saccadic percepts. This study directly tested the hypothesis that VWM is necessary for optimal trans-saccadic integration, by introducing memory load during a saccade, and testing subsequent integration performance on feature similar and dissimilar stimuli. Results show that integration performance was impaired when there was an additional memory task. Additionally, performance on the memory task was affected by feature-specific integration stimuli. Our results suggest that VWM supports the integration of pre- and post- saccadic stimuli because integration performance is impaired under VWM load.
