Representation of color, form, and their conjunction across the human ventral visual pathway.

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
Despite decades of research, our understanding of the relationship between color and form processing in the primate ventral visual pathway remains incomplete. Using fMRI multivoxel pattern analysis, we examined coding of color and form, using a simple form feature (orientation) and a mid-level form feature (curvature), in human ventral visual processing regions. We found that both color and form could be decoded from activity in early visual areas V1 to V4, as well as in the posterior color-selective region and shape-selective regions in ventral and lateral occipitotemporal cortex defined based on their univariate selectivity to color or shape, respectively (the central color region only showed color but not form decoding). Meanwhile, decoding biases towards one feature or the other existed in the color- and shape-selective regions, consistent with their univariate feature selectivity reported in past studies. Additional extensive analyses show that while all these regions contain independent (linearly additive) coding for both features, several early visual regions also encode the conjunction of color and the simple, but not the complex, form feature in a nonlinear, interactive manner. Taken together, the results show that color and form are encoded in a biased distributed and largely independent manner across ventral visual regions in the human brain.
