Seeing fruit on trees: enhanced perceptual dissimilarity from multiple ambiguous neural representations.
Article in Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science, and vision, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Perceptual grouping contributes to the resolution of visual ambiguity of multiple spatially separate regions in view by enhancing their perceptual similarity. Here, the same ambiguous neural representations are shown also to enhance perceived dissimilarity among the regions. Two separated equiluminant gratings were made ambiguous by introducing rivalry for one of two of their features: orientation or chromaticity. Observers perceived two gratings (above and below fixation) to be different in both color and orientation more often than chance. Overall, a disambiguating process was found to select often for maximal perceived dissimilarity between two objects.
