A sinusoidal transformation of the visual field is the basis for periodic maps in area V2.
Article in Neuron, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Retinotopic maps of many visual areas are thought to follow the fundamental principles described for the primary visual cortex (V1), where nearby points on the retina map to nearby points on the surface of V1, and orthogonal axes of the retinal surface are represented along orthogonal axes of the cortical surface. Here we demonstrate a striking departure from this mapping in the secondary visual area (V2) of the tree shrew best described as a sinusoidal transformation of the visual field. This sinusoidal topography is ideal for achieving uniform coverage in an elongated area like V2, as predicted by mathematical models designed for wiring minimization, and provides a novel explanation for periodic banded patterns of intra-cortical connections and functional response properties in V2 of tree shrews as well as several other species. Our findings suggest that cortical circuits flexibly implement solutions to sensory surface representation, with dramatic consequences for large-scale cortical organization.
