Looking for Details: Fine-Grained Visual Search at the Foveal Scale.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Visual search has traditionally been conceptualized as the process by which the visual system identifies relevant objects in the extrafoveal field for subsequent foveation. Standard models implicitly assume there is no need for a finer-level search within the 1-degree foveola, as stimuli falling in this region are already viewed at high resolution. Using state-of-the-art high-precision eye tracking with arcminute level accuracy to localize the line of sight, we show that the visuomotor system is capable of implementing effective visual search strategies with striking precision within the foveated region. This active behavior, mediated by microsaccades, tiny saccades just a few arcminutes in size, allows for an efficient examination of the details falling in the central fovea. Our findings challenge the traditional visual search view and reveal that at each fixation a finer priority map of the foveal input is established, underscoring the dynamic nature of these representations.
