Active vision is linked to category selectivity in the individual brain.
Article in Nature human behaviour, 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
Individuals reliably differ in how they look at complex visual scenes, with the most prominent variation in their propensity to fixate faces and text. Here we tested the hypothesis that these differences in gaze are linked to representational properties of the individual visual system in 61 adults. Eye-tracking captured each observer's characteristic gaze tendencies during naturalistic scene viewing, and independent functional magnetic resonance imaging recorded category-selective responses to faces, words and other stimuli when participants were instructed to fixate centrally. We find that the propensity to fixate faces or text goes along with enhanced distinctiveness and enlarged functional regions of corresponding categorical representations in the ventral stream. These in turn predicted performance on reading and face recognition tasks. Thus, active vision appears linked to the precision of category-selective encoding and corresponding neural resources in the individual brain.
