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

We review the current state of our knowledge of the neural control of vergence and ocular accommodation in primates including humans. We first describe the critical need for these behaviors for viewing in a three-dimensional world. We then consider the sensory stimuli that drive vergence eye movements and lens accommodation and describe models of the sensorimotor transformations required to drive these motor systems. We discuss the interaction of vergence with saccades to produce high-speed shifts in gaze between objects at different distances and eccentricities. We also cover the normal development of these eye movements as well as the sequelae associated with their maldevelopment. In particular, we examine the neural substrates that produce vergence and lens accommodation, including motoneurons, immediate premotor circuitry, cerebellar and precerebellar regions, and cerebral cortical areas.
