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

Short-term monocular deprivation transiently shifts ocular dominance in favor of the deprived eye. Here we asked whether the effect of a one-hour monocular deprivation was enhanced by the execution of a task requiring visually guided goal-directed actions, compared to a passive viewing condition where participants watched a replay of their own actions. Although the visual input was the same across conditions, we found a stronger ocular dominance shift when participants actively performed the task. These results provide strong evidence that voluntary, goal-directed actions modulate visual plasticity.
