The behavioural preview effect with faces is susceptible to statistical regularities: Evidence for predictive processing across the saccade.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The world around us appears stable and continuous despite saccadic eye movements. This apparent visual stability is achieved by trans-saccadic perception leading at the behavioural level to preview effects: performance in processing a foveal stimulus is better if the stimulus remained unchanged (valid) compared to when it changed (invalid) during the saccade that brought it into focus. Trans-saccadic perception is known to predictively adapt to the statistics of the environment. Here, we asked whether the behavioural preview effect shows the same characteristics, employing a between-participants training design. Participants made saccades to faces which could change their orientation (upright/inverted) during the saccade. In addition, the post-saccadic face was slightly tilted and participants reported this tilt upon fixation. In a training phase, one group of participants conducted only invalid trials whereas another group conducted only valid trials. In a subsequent test phase with 50% valid and 50% invalid trials, we measured the preview effect. Invalid training reduced the preview effect. With a mixed-model analysis, we could show how this training effect gradually declines in the course of the test phase. These results show that the behavioural preview effect adapts to the statistics of the environment suggesting that it results from predictive processes.
