The Corpus of Bidirectional Reading of Traditional Chinese Text: An Extension of the Multilingual Eye-Movement Corpus.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present a corpus of eye-movement data collected during the reading of passages in traditional Chinese and developed in the framework of the Multilingual Eye Movement Corpus (MECO) project. A distinctive feature of traditional Chinese writing is that texts in this written language can be formatted and read either horizontally or vertically. Leveraging this characteristic bidirectionality, our corpus, based on 60 Hong Kong participants' eye movement data, is the first to offer a within-subject and within-item comparison of eye movements during horizontal and vertical text reading. In addition to the corpus itself, we provide reliability estimates of the eye-tracking data and linear mixed-effects model analyses for its technical validation. The results demonstrate that horizontal and vertical reading of traditional Chinese passages yield comparable spatial and temporal eye movement patterns, contributing to our understanding of both universal and language-specific cognitive, visual, and oculomotor processes in reading. Ultimately, this corpus supports the development of more comprehensive and ecologically valid models of eye movement control in reading.
