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

A classic and highly influential model of visual processing proposes that the role of the retina is to compress visual information for optimal transmission to the brain [1]. Drawing on ideas from information theory, an efficient retinal code could be defined as one that reduces redundancy to communicate as much information as possible, given the optic nerve's limited capacity. From this redundancy reduction hypothesis, a theory of retinal color coding emerged in which the three most common retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types captured much of the variance in natural spectra [2]. Within this compact code, the 'Blue-ON' small bistratified RGC was thought to be the only pathway necessary for comparing short (S) wavelength-sensitive cones to long (L) and medium (M) wavelength-sensitive cones [3,4]. Here, we discovered a new wide-field RGC type receiving the same cone-opponent input as the small bistratified RGC, indicating that there is more redundancy in the retinal color code than previously appreciated.
