Express saccades during a countermanding task.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Express saccades are unusually short latency, visually guided saccadic eye movements. They are most commonly observed when the fixation spot disappears at a consistent, short interval before a target spot appears at a repeated location. The saccade countermanding task includes no fixation-target gap, variable target presentation times, and the requirement to withhold saccades on some trials. These testing conditions should discourage production of express saccades. However, two macaque monkeys performing the saccade countermanding task produced consistent, multimodal distributions of saccadic latencies. These distributions consisted of a longer mode extending from 200 ms to as much as 600 ms after target presentation and another consistently less than 100 ms after target presentation. Simulations revealed that, by varying express saccade production, monkeys could earn more reward. If express saccades were not rewarded, they were rarely produced. The distinct mechanisms producing express and longer saccade latencies were revealed further by the influence of regularities in the duration of the fixation interval preceding target presentation on saccade latency. Temporal expectancy systematically affected the latencies of regular but not of express saccades. This study highlights that cognitive control can integrate information across trials and strategically elicit intermittent very short latency saccades to acquire more reward.
