The bookend effect.
Article in i-Perception. 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
The principle of "common fate" tells us that objects that move together, group together. But what happens when physical paths are shared and illusory paths differ? Here, horizontally aligned targets move up and down over columns containing static, oblique gratings. If all columns share the same orientation, the target group appears to drift in that direction, as per the furrow illusion. However, when the two outer "bookend" targets have a different background orientation from the inner "book" targets, group motion is entirely captured by the bookends. This occurs despite the inner books having discriminable features and recoverable relative motion. What is missing is any sense of their opposing illusory path. We suggest that spatial proximity and common vertical motion help create a single grouped object representation. Since rigid objects tend not to move in two directions at once, the salient bookends dominate our perception of where the group is going.
