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

Vannuscorps and colleagues present the fascinating case of Davida, a young person who makes systematic errors in judgments related to orientations of sharp or high-contrast visual stimuli. In this commentary, we discuss the findings in the context of observations from mid-level ventral visual stream physiology. We propose two additional interpretations for the specificity of the behavioural deficits: the observed impairments in orientation judgments may be consistent with a system that is not able to unambiguously represent certain impoverished stimuli, or with a system that is not able to translate visual input into head- or body-centered coordinates. Davida's case offers a unique glimpse into the complex cascade of transformations that enable accurate orientation judgments, and sparks curiosity about which mechanistic disruptions can produce such specific unstable percepts.
