Inhomogeneous Encoding of the Visual Field in the Mouse Retina.
Article in Current biology : CB, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
Stimulus characteristics of the mouse's visual field differ above and below the skyline. Here, we show for the first time that retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the output neurons of the retina, gradually change their functional properties along the ventral-dorsal axis to allow better representation of the different stimulus characteristics. We conducted two-photon targeted recordings of transient-Offα-RGCs and found that they gradually became more sustained along the ventral-dorsal axis, revealing >5-fold-longer duration responses in the dorsal retina. Using voltage-clamp recordings, pharmacology, and genetic manipulation, we demonstrated that the primary rod pathway underlies this variance. Our findings challenge the current belief that RGCs of the same subtype exhibit the same light responses, regardless of retinal location, and suggest that networks underlying RGC responses may change with retinal location to enable optimized sampling of the visual image.
