Saccade-synchronized alpha rhythms predict strength of memory trace of stimulus orientation.
Article in BMC biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSaccadic eye movements allow us to sample the world sequentially, but pose challenges to the visual system, which must integrate information across successive fixations. The mechanisms subserving the integration may share properties with "serial dependence," the assimilative bias caused by previous sensory experience on current perception.
resultsWe investigated serial dependence during saccadic eye movements by measuring ERP responses from participants during visually driven saccadic eye movements while they viewed a brief Gabor patch, presented at various orientations (± 35°, ± 45°, or ± 55°), and then reproduced its orientation. Our findings demonstrate that both alpha and beta oscillations are synchronized by the saccades. Importantly, we found that the strength of alpha oscillations correlates (negatively) with the magnitude of serial dependence, particular in the right parietal cortex, while that of beta oscillations does not.
conclusionsThese results provide evidence that pre-saccadic alpha oscillations contain information to be carried across saccades, probably fundamental for integration of visual information across saccades, and trans-saccadic perceptual stability.
