Temporal differences in eye-hand coordination between children and adults during manual action on objects.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveEye-hand coordination, which is essential for activities of daily living, develops with age. The objective of this study was to investigate the temporal patterns of visual fixation coupled with hands during manual action on objects in children and young adults.
methodsTwelve eight-year-old children and 12 young adults performed the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTT) wearing eye-tracking glasses. The interval from the eye arrival time to the hand arrival time on an object was measured as eye-hand arrival span. The interval between the eye departure time and the hand departure time from the object was measured as eye-hand departure span. Eye-hand arrival span, eye-hand departure span and the performance time to complete the JTT were compared between children and young adults. Correlation between eye-hand arrival span and eye-hand departure span was analysed to identify the mechanism of eye-hand coordination.
resultsCompared with young adults, children showed longer performance time but shorter eye-hand arrival span and eye-hand departure span in the JTT. The difference in mean eye-hand arrival span of overall JTT between children and young adults was significant for both hands, whereas differences in the mean eye-hand departure span on the overall JTT and the total performance time were significant for the non-dominant hand. The eye-hand arrival span was positively correlated with the eye-hand departure span.
conclusionThis study demonstrated temporal differences in eye-hand coordination between children and young adults. Temporal patterns of visual fixation coupled to object manipulation could be useful information about the sensorimotor system in the field of occupational therapy.
