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

The analysis of ocular scanpaths during the observation of artistic pictures has paved the way for neuroaesthetics to question the involvement of brain mechanisms during artistic experiences. In this review, we revisit the main aspects of three fundamental domains of investigation implicated in the perception of art and beauty: (1) oculomotor science, (2) vision, and (3) the dynamics of brain oscillations. For each of these fields, central elements are highlighted to demonstrate their functional inter-dependency for the future development of neuroaesthetics, upon which connoisseurship expertise depends. Namely, the scanpath theory, linked to basic neurophysiological concepts such as saccadic and blink suppression, fixational eye movements, and sensorimotor mnemonic, were described and integrated with other important elements of visual search. The meaning, saliency, and integrated priority maps were discussed in relation to working memory and consciousness. Then, the basic and specialized networks of the visual framework were reviewed in relation to bottom-up, top-down, and corollary discharge mechanisms. Finally, the EEG dynamics of alpha and gamma oscillations were proposed to decipher the involvement of brain wave generators during scanpath artistic exploration.
