Representation of Multidimensional Stimuli: Quantifying the Most Informative Stimulus Dimension from Neural Responses.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
A common way to assess the function of sensory neurons is to measure the number of spikes produced by individual neurons while systematically varying a given dimension of the stimulus. Such measured tuning curves can then be used to quantify the accuracy of the neural representation of the stimulus dimension under study, which can in turn be related to behavioral performance. However, tuning curves often change shape when other dimensions of the stimulus are varied, reflecting the simultaneous sensitivity of neurons to multiple stimulus features. Here we illustrate how one-dimensional information analyses are misleading in this context, and propose a framework derived from Fisher information that allows the quantification of information carried by neurons in multidimensional stimulus spaces. We use this method to probe the representation of sound localization in auditory neurons of chinchillas and guinea pigs of both sexes, and show how heterogeneous tuning properties contribute to a representation of sound source position that is robust to changes in sound level.
