Sustained response to symmetry in extrastriate areas after stimulus offset: An EEG study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Electrophysiological (EEG) studies of human perception have found that amplitude at posterior electrodes is more negative for symmetrical patterns compared to asymmetrical patterns. This negativity lasts for hundreds of milliseconds and it has been called sustained posterior negativity (SPN). Symmetry activates a network of visual areas, including the lateral occipital complex (LOC). The SPN is a response to presence of symmetry in the image. Given the sustained nature of this activation, in this study we tested the persistence of the SPN after stimulus offset. Two shapes were presented (for 0.5 s each) with a 1 s blank interval in between. We observed a sustained response after stimulus offset, irrespective of whether the task required processing of shape information. This supports the idea that the response to symmetry is generated by information in the image, independently of task, and that it is sustained over approximately one second post stimulus onset.
