Lateral effects in pattern vision.
Review in Journal of vision, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
There is a large literature on lateral effects in pattern vision but no consensus about them or comprehensive model of them. This paper reviews the literature with a focus on the effects of parallel context in the central fovea. It describes seven experiments that measure detection and discrimination thresholds in annular and Gabor-pattern contexts at different separations. It presents a model of these effects, which is an elaboration of Foley's (1994) model. The model describes the results well, and it shows that lateral context affects the response to the target by both multiplicative excitation and additive inhibition. Both lateral effects extend for several wavelengths beyond the target. They vary in relative strength, producing near suppression and far enhancement of the response to the target. The model describes the detection and discrimination results well, and it also describes the results of experiments on lateral effects on perceived contrast. The model is consistent with the physiology of V1 cells.
