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

Measuring the color tuning of visual neurons is important for understanding the neural basis of vision, but it is challenging because of the inherently three-dimensional nature of color. Color tuning cannot be represented by a one-dimensional curve, and measuring three-dimensional tuning curves is difficult. One approach to addressing this challenge is to analyze neuronal color tuning data through the lens of mathematical models that make assumptions about the shapes of tuning curves. In this paper, we discuss the linear-nonlinear cascade model as a platform for measuring neuronal color tuning. We compare fitting this model by three techniques: two using response-weighted averaging and one using numerical optimization of likelihood. We highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and emphasize the effects of the stimulus distribution on color tuning measurements.
