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

Spectral sensitivity of humans and rhesus monkeys was compared using identical displays and similar procedures. Detection thresholds were measured for the following: 1) 15-Hz modulation of a blue and a green cathode-ray tube phosphor; 2) 15-Hz modulation of all three phosphors together; and 3) slow (<1 Hz) modulations of a blue and a green phosphor under scotopic conditions. Monkeys had lower blue-to-green threshold ratios than humans at all eccentricities tested (0.5 to 7°), consistent with a lower lens optical density in monkeys. In addition to apparently having a lower lens density than humans, monkeys were more sensitive to 15-Hz red-green isoluminant modulations than humans, an effect that cannot be explained by optical factors.
