Order of operations for decoding superior colliculus activity for saccade generation.
Article in Journal of neurophysiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
To help understand the order of events that occurs when generating saccades, we simulated and tested two commonly stated decoding models that are believed to occur in the oculomotor system: vector averaging (VA) and center-of-mass. To generate accurate saccades, each model incorporates two required criteria: 1) a decoding mechanism that deciphers a population response of the superior colliculus (SC) and 2) an exponential transformation that converts the saccade vector into visual coordinates. The order of these two criteria is used differently within each model, yet the significance of the sequence has not been quantified. To distinguish between each decoding sequence and hence, to determine the order of events necessary to generate accurate saccades, we simulated the two models. Distinguishable predictions were obtained when two simultaneous motor commands are processed by each model. Experimental tests of the models were performed by observing the distribution of endpoints of saccades evoked by weighted, simultaneous microstimulation of two SC sites. The data were consistent with the predictions of the VA model, in which exponential transformation precedes the decoding computation.
