The temporal advantage for reloading vs. uploading conscious representations decays over time.
Article in Neuroscience of consciousness, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In motion-induced blindness (MIB), a static target superimposed on a global moving pattern frequently disappears and reappears into consciousness. We previously reported an intriguing illusory temporal reversal whereby a new stimulus onset (e.g. a dot flash) presented during MIB triggers an early reappearance of the target, yet is systematically perceived as occurring after the target reappearance. This illusion implies that the unconscious target representation can be quickly reactivated, with a temporal advantage for its conscious reloading as compared to the conscious uploading of a newly presented visual stimulus. However, it remains unclear whether the temporal advantage for conscious representation reloading strengthens, decays, or remains constant over time after we lose the initial conscious access to the stimulus. To address this question, we examined the relation between the duration of MIB and the percentage of illusory temporal reversals, and we found a negative correlation between the two measures, both between and within observers. The results suggest that although the unconscious target representation retains a certain level of activation during MIB, the temporal advantage for reloading its preexisting representation into consciousness decays over time.
