Visually perceived depth from single-dot circular trajectories.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study investigates the perception of three-dimensional depth elicited by a single dot traversing an oblique projection of circular motion within the frontal plane. We show that this minimal motion stimulus evokes vivid depth experiences comparable to those from two-dot relative motion, demonstrating that speed variations of a single element alone enable 3D space perception. In addition, perspective projection which is an important depth-cue for other stimuli, for example resulting in linear perspective and texture gradients in stills, do not contribute much compared to parallel projection for our stimuli. The results also demonstrate a robust view-from-above perceptual bias, indicating that ecological priors influence depth disambiguation. These effects are discussed using Gestalt principles of simplicity and Bayesian models of perception. Together, these findings enrich our understanding of motion-based depth perception and highlight novel mechanisms by which the visual system reconstructs depth from minimal cues.
