Ocular Dominance Plasticity of Areas 17 and 21a in the Cat.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 visual system is organized in a parallel and hierarchical architecture. However, the plasticity in hierarchical neural networks is controversial across different response features and at different levels. In this study, we recorded areas 17 and 21a, earlier and intermediate stages of the visual cortex in the cat, respectively, by single-unit recording and intrinsic-signal optical imaging. We found that ocular dominance (OD) plasticity evoked by monocular deprivation (MD) was stronger in area 21a than in area 17 in the critical period (CP), and this plasticity became weaker but still persisted in area 21a while it disappeared in area 17 beyond the CP. These results suggest a diversified functional plasticity along the visual information processing pathways in a hierarchical neural network.
