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 problemwearable eye trackers deliver eye-tracking data on a scene video that is acquired by a camera affixed to the participant's head. Analyzing and interpreting such head-centered data is difficult and laborious manual work. Automated methods to map eye-tracking data to a world-centered reference frame (e.g., screens and tabletops) are available. These methods usually make use of fiducial markers. However, such mapping methods may be difficult to implement, expensive, and eye tracker-specific. THE SOLUTION: here we present gazeMapper, an open-source tool for automated mapping and processing of eye-tracking data. gazeMapper can: (1) Transform head-centered data to planes in the world, (2) synchronize recordings from multiple participants, (3) determine data quality measures, e.g., accuracy and precision. gazeMapper comes with a GUI application (Windows, macOS, and Linux) and supports 11 different wearable eye trackers from AdHawk, Meta, Pupil, SeeTrue, SMI, Tobii, and Viewpointsystem. It is also possible to sidestep the GUI and use gazeMapper as a Python library directly.
