1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hemianopia can be rehabilitated by an auditory-visual "training" procedure, which restores visual responsiveness in midbrain neurons indirectly compromised by the cortical lesion and reinstates vision in contralesional space. Presumably, these rehabilitative changes are induced via mechanisms of multisensory integration/plasticity. If so, the paradigm should fail if the stimulus configurations violate the spatiotemporal principles that govern these midbrain processes. To test this possibility, hemianopic cats were provided spatially or temporally noncongruent auditory-visual training. Rehabilitation failed in all cases even after approximately twice the number of training trials normally required for recovery, and even after animals learned to approach the location of the undetected visual stimulus. When training was repeated with these stimuli in spatiotemporal concordance, hemianopia was resolved. The results identify the conditions needed to engage changes in remaining neural circuits required to support vision in the absence of visual cortex, and have implications for rehabilitative strategies in human patients.
