How body knowledge shapes motion perception.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 motion perception is crucial for social interactions. There is evidence that this perception is influenced by the knowledge of our body and its range of movement. We run two experiments to understand how robust this influence can be. First, we compared human and clock hand motion perception through an apparent motion paradigm. Second, we used a masked priming paradigm to explore how unconscious processes affect motion perception. While the clock hand rotations were generally perceived as clockwise, the human hands were perceived as rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, and their perception was predominantly aligned with biomechanical constraints. The main finding was that this alignment persisted under visual priming for human hands but not for clock hands. The priming effect was significantly reduced when the primed direction conflicted with biomechanically possible hand movements. This suggests that body knowledge shapes motion perception, with this effect proving highly robust.
