Priority coding in the visual system.
Review in Nature reviews. Neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of visual priority coding, including perceptual expertise, goal-directed attention, visual salience, image memorability and preferential looking, have been studied. Here, we synthesize information from these different examples to review recent developments in our understanding of visual priority coding and its neural correlates, with a focus on the role of behaviour to evaluate candidate correlates. We propose that the brain combines different types of priority into a unified priority signal while also retaining the ability to differentiate between them, and that this happens by leveraging partially overlapping low-dimensional neural subspaces for each type of priority that are shared with the downstream neural populations involved in decision-making. Finally, we describe the gulfs in understanding that have resulted from different research approaches, and we point towards future directions that will lead to fundamental insights about neural coding and how prioritization influences visually guided behaviours.
