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 choice of where to look next is determined by both exogenous (bottom-up) and endogenous (top-down) factors, but details of their interaction and distinct contributions to target selection have remained elusive. Recent experiments with urgent choice tasks, in which stimuli are evaluated while motor plans are already advancing, have greatly clarified these contributions. Specifically, exogenous modulations associated with stimulus detection act rapidly and briefly (∼25 ms) to automatically halt and/or boost ongoing motor plans as per spatial congruence rules. These stereotypical modulations explain, in quantitative detail, characteristic features of many saccadic tasks (e.g. antisaccade, countermanding, saccadic-inhibition, gap, and double-step). Thus, the same low-level visuomotor interactions contribute to diverse oculomotor phenomena traditionally attributed to different neural mechanisms.
