Postural responses to sinusoidal modulations of viewpoint position in a virtual environment.
Article in Experimental brain research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Visual self-motion information is known to contribute to postural control, but it is unclear precisely which aspects of visual motion information drive changes in posture. We report here results for standing humans which suggest that there is a speed of movement threshold that must be exceeded by a visual stimulus if a posture response is to be generated. We use signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) methods to measure the strength of steady-state visually evoked posture responses (SSVEPRs) to sinusoidal modulations of visual viewpoint position in a virtual environment (VE). Using threshold estimates found from data which show how posture responses depend on visual stimulus amplitude, we show that the sensitivity of the visuo-postural response system increases with the temporal frequency at which the position of one's viewpoint is modulated. We show further that there is a speed of movement threshold, on average 1.85 cm/s, which must be exceeded by a left-right modulation of viewpoint position if a posture response is to be generated. A comparison of visual stimulus visibility to posture response thresholds suggests that one tends to not make postural responses to visual stimuli that are unseen. Finally, we found small correlations between motion sickness in these experiments and both the time spent in the VE and the frequency of viewpoint movement.
