How a lack of haptic feedback affects eye-hand coordination and embodiment in virtual reality.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Intuitively, we know that how we perceive and act in the world is profoundly affected when the lights go out. But what happens to visuomotor control when our sense of touch is taken away? Notably this happens in Virtual Reality (VR) and for prosthesis users. We test this question by combining VR and hand-, motion- and eye-tracking to give and deprive full haptic feedback to individuals with normal hand function during a validated object interaction task. Returning haptic feedback in VR generated eye-hand coordination more similar to real-world interactions. Interestingly, VR users and prosthesis users have both reported reduced feelings of embodiment towards their limbs. Therefore, we also quantified the sense of embodiment which increased with haptic feedback. We further reported a correlation between eye-hand coordination and an individual's sense of embodiment suggesting that the embodiment is experienced as the synchronized reception of sensory information and that eye-hand coordination measures are an objective way to quantify these experiences.
