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

The spatial processing of color is important for visual perception. Double-opponent (DO) cells likely contribute to this processing by virtue of their spatially opponent and cone-opponent receptive fields (RFs). However, the representation of visual features by DO cells in the primary visual cortex of primates is unclear because the spatial structure of their RFs has not been fully characterized. To fill this gap, we mapped the RFs of DO cells in awake macaques with colorful, dynamic white noise patterns. The spatial RF of each neuron was fitted with a Gabor function and three versions of the difference of Gaussians (DoG) function. The Gabor function provided the more accurate description for most DO cells, a result that is incompatible with a center-surround RF organization. A nonconcentric version of the DoG function, in which the RFs have a circular center and a crescent-shaped surround, performed nearly as well as the Gabor model thus reconciling results from previous reports. For comparison, we also measured the RFs of simple cells. We found that the superiority of the Gabor fits over DoG fits was slightly more decisive for simple cells than for DO cells. The implications of these results on biological image processing and visual perception are discussed.
