1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 investigated audiovisual integration in visual motion perception among both younger and older adults. Participants were asked to discriminate the visual motion direction of a random dot kinematogram in two experiments. The visual motion coherence of the random dot kinematogram varied across trials. Two experimental conditions were established: the lateral-shift and the one-sided sound condition. In the lateral-shift sound condition, the auditory motion stimulus based on interaural level differences was presented simultaneously with the visual stimuli. The auditory stimulus moved horizontally in either a rightward or leftward direction. In the one-sided sound condition, an auditory stimulus was presented through only one side of the headphones, simultaneously with the visual stimuli. The velocity of the dot motion differed between the two experiments (Experiment 1: 8°/s; Experiment 2: 6°/s). The results showed that the point of subjective stationarity was biased in the opposite direction to the auditory motion in the lateral-shift sound condition compared to the one-sided sound condition, regardless of age. Only in the Experiment 2, the point of subjective stationarity in the lateral-shift sound condition was more biased in older adults than in younger adults. These findings suggest that, in slow visual motion, age-related differences influence audiovisual motion integration.
