An eye for detail: Eye movements and attention at the foveal scale.
Article in Vision research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Human vision relies on a tiny region of the retina, the 1-deg foveola, to achieve high spatial resolution. Foveal vision is of paramount importance in daily activities, yet its study is challenging, as eye movements incessantly displace stimuli across this region. Here I will review work that, building on recent advances in eye-tracking and gaze-contingent display, examines how attention and eye movements operate at the foveal level. This research highlights how exploration of fine spatial detail unfolds following visuomotor strategies reminiscent of those occurring at larger scales. It shows that, together with highly precise control of attention, this motor activity is linked to non-homogenous processing within the foveola and selectively modulates sensitivity both in space and time. Overall, the picture emerges of a highly dynamic foveal perception in which fine spatial vision, rather than simply being the result of placing a stimulus at the center of gaze, is the result of a finely tuned and orchestrated synergy of motor, cognitive, and attentional processes.
