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

The functional head impulse test (fHIT) measures what individuals can see during high-acceleration passive head impulses, quantifying the percentage of correctly identified briefly flashed optotypes rather than inferring gaze stabilization from kinematic eye velocity. This paper traces the technological evolution of fHIT from its conceptual origins in dynamic visual acuity testing to its standardized protocol (80-ms presentation at peak head acceleration binned across 1,000-7,000°/s
