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

Noise is a ubiquitous component of motor systems that leads to behavioral variability of all types of movements. Nonetheless, systems-based models investigating human movements are generally deterministic and explain only the central tendencies like mean trajectories. In this paper, a novel approach to modeling kinematic variability of movements is presented and tested on the oculomotor system. This approach reconciles the two prominent philosophies of saccade control: displacement-based control versus velocity-based control. This was achieved by quantifying the variability in saccadic eye movements and developing a stochastic model of its control. The proposed stochastic dual model generated significantly better fits of inter-trial variances of the saccade trajectories compared to existing models. These results suggest that the saccadic system can flexibly use the information of both desired displacement and velocity for its control. This study presents a potential framework for investigating computational principles of motor control in the presence of noise utilizing stochastic modeling of kinematic variability.
