I'm surprised no one has mentioned Philp Rance's work in this area- grbs.library.duke.edu/article/download/101/101

What this shows is that if infantry were prepared to stand up to even Clibanarii/Catafractarii they could generally beat them off. Its when infantry started to waver or they lost morale and were not sure if they could withstand the attack that the mounted troops gained the upper hand.
