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

purposeTo assess the effects of modifying head position and of static ocular counter-rolling (OCR) on abduction and adduction in saccadic eye movements using a head-mounted video-oculographic device. STUDY

designA clinical observational study.

methodsThe peak velocities and amplitude gains of visually guided 12° saccades were binocularly measured in 21 healthy volunteers with their heads in the upright vertical (0°) and horizontal (± 90°, bilateral side-lying) postures, and in 6 participants with their head positions bilaterally tilted by 30°. The rotation angles of eyeballs generated via OCR in the bilateral 30° and 90° head positions were evaluated in five participants.

resultsPeak velocities and gains were significantly higher with the head in the 0° position compared to ± 90°. The decreases in peak velocities and gains at ± 90° were not affected by the apogeotropic or geotropic directions. Faster peak velocities and greater gains on abduction, rather than adduction, were observed under each test condition. The tendencies toward faster peak velocity and greater gain in the 0° head position rather than bilaterally tilted at 30° were preserved. The absolute rotation angles at ± 90° were larger than those at 30°.

conclusionsHead position affected the peak velocities and gains of both abduction and adduction saccades. The findings suggest that modified force vectors exerted by different eye muscles recruited during OCR play a role. Our research provides valuable insights for assessing eye movements across various head positions.
