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

We compared proprioceptive judgements made within a single frame of reference (e.g., grasp → grasp; i.e., low-level) and those made between frames of reference (e.g., grasp → vision; i.e., high-level) at the hand and jaw in 30 healthy participants. Participants judged the size of grasped or bitten objects of different sizes. Compared to high-level judgements, low-level judgements were more accurate (hand: mean difference in mean absolute error: 0.20 mm [95% CI 0.12 to 0.27]; jaw: (0.15 mm [0.09 to 0.20]) and precise (hand: mean difference in RMSE: 3.94 [2.73 to 5.15]; jaw: 1.67 [1.19 to 2.14]). A regression line was fit to a participant’s high-level proprioception responses to reflect the central transformation used to make these judgements. Comparing the regression lines for the hand and jaw conditions indicates the brain does not appear to apply a similar calibration to make high-level proprioceptive judgements with these distinct yet functionally related body parts.
