Perception-action coupling during discriminative interceptive actions.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Interception is a complex task that requires the integration of perception and action under temporal constraints. Decision-making about whether to respond to moving stimuli involved in discriminative responses may further increase the cognitive load imposed on the performer, influencing perception-action coupling during interception. This study investigated the effects of discriminative response requirements on eye and hand movements, the coupling of perception and action, and the accuracy of responses during interceptive actions. Methods: Twelve right-handed male participants performed interceptive actions to stimuli moving at three velocities (0.53 m/s, 0.66 m/s, 0.88 m/s) in discriminative (target-specific) and non-discriminative (target non-specific) conditions. While the non-discriminative condition required participants to respond to presented stimuli in all trials, the discriminative condition required them to respond to the stimulus moving toward a pre-defined target area. Results: Timing errors were greater in the discriminative condition than the non-discriminative condition, and increased with increasing stimulus velocity. Both reaction and movement times decreased with increasing stimulus velocity, and the reaction times were longer in the discriminative condition than the non-discriminative condition. Variables representing the temporal aspects of interceptive actions, including saccadic latency, saccadic frequency, gaze duration, and temporal coupling of gaze and stimulus decreased with increasing stimulus velocity. Compared to the non-discriminative condition, saccadic frequency was higher, gaze duration was shorter, and the temporal coupling of gaze and stimulus was longer in the discriminative condition. Variables representing the spatial aspects of responses, including radial error, gaze error, and the spatial couplings of gaze and hand, however, remained unaffected by task conditions. Conclusion: These findings suggest that decision-making about whether to respond to moving stimuli may impair the temporal accuracy of responses by delaying perception-action coupling without severe influences on the spatial coupling of eye and hand during interceptive actions.
