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

Almost ten years ago, Kelly and collegues reported that the earliest component (i.e., the C1) of the visual evoked potential (VEP) could be modulated by spatial attention. Using a similar experimental design and data analysis methods, however, Baumgartner et al. (this issue) recently failed to provide confirmative evidence. In this commentary, I suggest that some minor differences in experimental design may account for the inconsistent results between the two studies. I also propose a hypothesis that the C1 effect reported in Kelly et al. may not necessarily reflect modulations of the initial visual evoked response in human V1.
