Structural and Functional Connectivity Changes Beyond Visual Cortex in a Later Phase of Visual Perceptual Learning.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
The neural mechanisms of visual perceptual learning (VPL) remain unclear. Previously we found that activation in the primary visual cortex (V1) increased in the early encoding phase of training, but returned to baseline levels in the later retention phase. To examine neural changes during the retention phase, we measured structural and functional connectivity changes using MRI. After weeks of training on a texture discrimination task, the fractional anisotropy of the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, a major tract connecting visual and anterior areas, was increased, as well as the functional connectivity between V1 and anterior regions mediated by the ILF. These changes were strongly correlated with behavioral performance improvements. These results suggest a two-phase model of VPL in which localized functional changes in V1 in the encoding phase of training are followed by changes in both structural and functional connectivity in ventral visual processing, perhaps leading to the long-term stabilization of VPL.
