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

Baumgartner and colleagues (this issue) report a replication of an ERP study by Kelly, Gomez-Ramirez, and Foxe (2008). Unlike the original authors, they failed to observe a significant modulation of the C1 by visuo-spatial attention. They conclude that initial afferent processing in V1 is impermeable to visuo-spatial attention. Although their study, like any replication effort, is valuable and important, there are some uncertainties at the methodological and statistical levels suggesting that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence in the present case.
