Dependency in multisensory integration: a copula-based analysis.
Article in Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences, 2019. 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
The notion of copula has attracted attention from the field of contextuality and probability. A copula is a function that joins a multivariate distribution to its one-dimensional marginal distributions. Thereby, it allows characterizing the multivariate dependency separately from the specific choice of margins. Here, we demonstrate the use of copulas by investigating the structure of dependency between processing stages in a stochastic model of multisensory integration, which describes the effect of stimulation by several sensory modalities on human reaction times. We derive explicit terms for the covariance and Kendall's tau between the processing stages and point out the specific role played by two stochastic order relations, the usual stochastic order and the likelihood ratio order, in determining the sign of dependency. This article is part of the theme issue 'Contextuality and probability in quantum mechanics and beyond'.
