Analyzing the "Opposite" Approach in Additions to Historic Buildings Using Visual Attention Tools: Dresden Military History Museum Case.
Article in Journal of eye movement research, 2026. 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
From past to present, modern additions have continued to transform historic environments. While some argue that contemporary extensions disrupt the integrity of historic buildings, others suggest that the contrast between past and present creates a meaningful architectural dialog. This debate raises a key question: in contrasting compositions, which architectural elements draw more visual attention, the historic or the modern? To address this, a visual attention-based analytical approach is adopted. In this study, eye-tracking-based visual attention analysis is used to examine how viewers perceive the relationship between historical and contemporary architectural elements. Instead of conventional laboratory-based eye-tracking, artificial intelligence-supported visual attention software developed from eye-tracking datasets is employed. Four tools-3M-VAS, EyeQuant, Attention Insight, and Expoze-were used to generate heat maps, gaze sequence maps, hotspots, focus maps, attention distribution diagrams, and saliency predictions. These visualizations enabled both a qualitative and quantitative comparison of viewer focus. The case study is the Military History Museum in Dresden, Germany, known for its widely debated contemporary addition representing an oppositional design approach. The results illustrate which architectural components are visually prioritized, offering insight into how contrasting architectural languages are cognitively perceived in historic settings.
