Establishment of a scaffold for orientation maps in primary visual cortex of higher mammals.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
In higher mammals, environmentally driven patterns of neural activity do not play a role in the establishment of orientation specificity and maps. It has been proposed that specific long-range interactions provide the scaffold for developing orientation maps. Our model aims at explaining how such a scaffold could develop in the first place. Broad spontaneous activity waves and locally evoked spatially periodic response pattern are used. The model is discussed in relation to biological evidence, and experiments to test the model are proposed. We show that reliable orientation specificity cannot be a result of haphazard cortical wiring, as has been proposed.
