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

The current generation of fighter aircraft (e.g., F-35) move at supersonic speeds. Fighter pilots undergo rigorous simulation-based training to adapt and learn to operate these high-speed aircraft. On a simulator's display of a cockpit view of a moving aircraft, a fast-moving scene or objects seen by the pilot is presented as a series of computer-generated images. Due to the computing time for each image frame to be rendered, there are gaps between each frame which may present as visual artifacts in the virtual scene. This problem becomes amplified the faster objects move on the display. The missing visual information between frames presented can be detrimental for fast-paced high-intensity tasks, especially at low frame rates. Therefore, the effect of frame rate of the flight training simulator needs to be carefully evaluated to avoid negative transfer of training and ensure pilot safety. This paper reviews the current literature related to frame rate on viewer preference, its influence on task performance, simulator sickness and training. The aim of this paper was to identify gaps in scientific knowledge on the impact of simulator frame rate and provide future research directions to investigate pilot learning and transfer of complex tasks with extremely fast-moving scenes or objects across simulated and real fighter aircraft.
