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 present study continued to investigate whether the effects of length misperception caused by cross-shaped (formed by two pairs of the oppositely oriented Müller-Lyer wings) contextual distractors can be explained by the combined manifestation of two different (i.e., the Müller-Lyer and filled-space) geometric illusions of extent. In psychophysical experiments, the luminance of one pair of wings was randomly changed, while the luminance of the other pair remained constant. Two different distractor orientations were used-when the wings with constant luminance formed the right side of the cross or the left side, otherwise. To separately evaluate the manifestation of the Müller-Lyer illusion under different luminance conditions, two distracting crosses of the same orientation were attached to the lateral stimulus terminators in the first series of experiments. In the following four series, a single distracting cross (with different orientation) was attached to one of the lateral stimulus terminators and various combinations of the constant and background luminance were used. To interpret the experimental data, we used the basic computational principles of previously developed quantitative models of hypothetical visual mechanisms underlying the emergence of the Müller-Lyer illusion and the filled-space illusion. It was shown that the results of theoretical calculations adequately approximate the experimental curves obtained for all modifications of stimuli, which strongly supports the suggestion that the joint manifestations of these two illusions can be considered among the main factors determining the features of the illusion investigated.
