Collaborating with a robot biases human spatial attention.
Article in iScience, 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
Advancements in collaborative technologies have increased the accessibility of human-robot interaction (HRI), yet a gap remains in understanding how HRI affects human systems. This work investigates how HRI influences human visual processing, specifically through the near-hand effect, a phenomenon where the proximity of one's hand enhances spatial attention. Research has shown that this attentional priority can extend to another person's hand during collaborative tasks, integrating it into an individual's body schema. A critical question arises: can a robot's anthropomorphic hand similarly bias human attentional priority? Our findings revealed that collaborative HRI facilitates target detection near the robot's hand, an effect absent before the interaction. Additionally, we examined social and kinematic metrics that enhance this attentional shift by fostering joint body schema formation. These results highlight that HRI can shape human visual processing and body schema integration, offering insight into the interplay between our perceptual and cognitive systems and robotic collaborators.
