Recognition of letters displayed as successive contour fragments.
Article in AIMS neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Shapes can be displayed as parts but perceived as a whole through feedforward and feedback mechanisms in the visual system, though the exact spatiotemporal relationships for this process are still unclear. Our experiments examined the integration of letter fragments that were displayed as a rapid sequence. We examined the effects of timing and masking on integration, hypothesizing that increasing the timing interval between frames would impair recognition by disrupting contour linkage. We further used different mask types, a full-field pattern mask and a smaller strip mask, to examine the effects of global vs local masking on integration. We found that varying mask types and contrast produced a greater decline in recognition than was found when persistence or mask density was manipulated. The study supports prior work on letter recognition and provides greater insight into the spatiotemporal factors that contribute to the identification of shapes.
