V1-bypassing suppression leads to direction-specific microsaccade modulation in visual coding and perception.
Article in Nature communications, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Microsaccades play a critical role in refreshing visual information and have been shown to have direction-specific influences on human perception. However, the neural mechanisms underlying such direction-specific effects remains unknown. Here, we report the emergence of direction-specific microsaccade modulation in the middle layer of V2 but not in V1: responses of V2 neurons after microsaccades moved toward their receptive fields were stronger than those when microsaccades moved away. The decreased responses from V1 to V2, which are correlated with the amplitude of microsaccades away from receptive fields, suggest topographically location-specific suppression from an oculomotor source. Consistent with directional effects in V2, microsaccades function as a guide for monkeys' behavior in a peripheral detection task; both can be explained by a dynamic neural network. Our findings suggest a V1-bypassing suppressive circuit for direction-specific microsaccade modulation in V2 and its functional influence on visual sensitivity, which highlights the optimal sampling nature of microsaccades.
