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

Self-motion perception is a complex multisensory process that relies on the integration of various sensory signals, particularly visual and vestibular inputs, to construct stable and unified perceptions. It is essential for spatial navigation and effective interaction with the environment. This review systematically explores the mechanisms and computational principles underlying visual-vestibular integration in self-motion perception. We first outline the individual contributions of visual and vestibular cues and then introduce Bayesian inference as a normative framework for the quantitative modeling of multisensory integration. We also discuss multisensory recalibration as a critical mechanism in resolving conflicts between sensory inputs and maintaining perceptual stability. Using heading perception as a model system, we further describe the relevant visual and vestibular pathways involved in this process, as well as the brain regions involved. Finally, we discuss the neural mechanisms mediating visual-vestibular interactions through models of the Bayesian optimal integration and divisive normalization.
