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

Eye-tracking research offers valuable insights into human gaze behavior by examining the neurophysiological mechanisms that govern eye movements and their dynamic interactions with external stimuli. This review explores the foundational principles of oculomotor control, emphasizing the neural subsystems responsible for gaze stabilization and orientation. Although controlled laboratory studies have significantly advanced our understanding of these mechanisms, their ecological validity remains a critical limitation. However, the emergence of mobile eye tracking technologies has enabled research in naturalistic environments, uncovering the intricate interplay between gaze behavior and inputs from the head, trunk, and sensory systems. Furthermore, rapid technological advancements have broadened the application of eye-tracking across neuroscience, psychology, and related disciplines, resulting in methodological fragmentation that complicates the integration of findings across fields. In response to these challenges, this review underscores the distinctions between head-restrained and naturalistic conditions, emphasizing the importance of bridging neurophysiological insights with experimental paradigms. By addressing these complexities, this work seeks to elucidate the diverse methodologies employed for recording eye movements, providing critical guidance to mitigate potential pitfalls in the selection and design of experimental paradigms.
