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

The Rubber Hand Illusion can be used to induce the illusion that a fake hand is part of one's own body. Thus, it can be used to alter the body representation. It was also reported that the Rubber Hand Illusion induces a proprioceptive drift of one's real hand toward the fake hand. The Rubber Hand Illusion can be induced when the fake hand is placed farther in the sagittal plane (distally) compared to the real hand. In this case, the induced update of the body representation is an elongation of the arm. Virtual Reality and haptic technologies can be used to manipulate the perceived scenario in a virtual version of the Rubber Hand Illusion, the Virtual Hand Illusion. We developed a novel platform consisting in a virtual reality application integrating an optical motion capture device and haptic stimulators to study the manipulation of the body representation. We developed two experimental protocols to induce embodiment of an elongated arm: one validated in previous studies, that employs congruent visuo-motor-tactile stimulation, and one reproducing the typical Virtual Hand Illusion where only congruent visuo-tactile stimulation was employed. We tested both protocols with healthy participants.
