Fixation durations in natural scene viewing are guided by peripheral scene content.
Article in Journal of vision, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Fixation durations provide insights into processing demands. We investigated factors controlling fixation durations during scene viewing in two experiments. In Experiment 1, we tested the degree to which fixation durations adapt to global scene processing difficulty by manipulating the contrast (from original contrast to isoluminant) and saturation (original vs. grayscale) of the entire scene. We observed longer fixation durations for lower levels of contrast, and longer fixation durations for grayscale than for color scenes. Thus fixation durations were globally slowed as visual information became more and more degraded, making scene processing increasingly more difficult. In Experiment 2, we investigated two possible sources for this slow-down. We used "checkerboard" stimuli in which unmodified patches alternated with patches from which luminance information had been removed (isoluminant patches). Fixation durations showed an inverted immediacy effect (longer, rather than shorter, fixation durations on unmodified patches) along with a parafoveal-on-foveal effect (shorter fixation durations, when an unmodified patch was fixated next). This effect was stronger when the currently fixated patch was isoluminant as opposed to unmodified. Our results suggest that peripheral scene information substantially affects fixation durations and are consistent with the notion of competition among the current and potential future fixation locations.
