Imaging the spatiotemporal dynamics of covert attention with a pupillometric probing paradigm.
Article in iScience, 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 can use a covert form of selective attention to efficiently inspect visual aspects in the periphery without making eye movements. However, it has been a challenge to reveal how covert attention shifts across time and space. Here, we report on a pupillometric orienting method to directly probe and visualize covert shifts of attention between cues and targets. The analysis of the spatiotemporal dynamics of attention-enhanced pupil responsivity to probes, presented around and between cues and targets, indicates that attention shifts across spatial locations between cues and targets despite the absence of interconnected objects guiding attention. Furthermore, current settings allowed to make rough temporal estimates on how long it takes for attention to start moving and for it to arrive at target locations. These findings lay the basis for future research into more detailed estimates of departure and arrival latencies, which may vary depending on shift directions, stimulus designs, and populations.
