A genetically defined tecto-thalamic pathway drives a system of superior-colliculus-dependent visual cortices.
Article in Neuron, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Cortical responses to visual stimuli are believed to rely on the geniculo-striate pathway. However, recent work has challenged this notion by showing that responses in the postrhinal cortex (POR), a visual cortical area, instead depend on the tecto-thalamic pathway, which conveys visual information to the cortex via the superior colliculus (SC). Does POR's SC-dependence point to a wider system of tecto-thalamic cortical visual areas? What information might this system extract from the visual world? We discovered multiple mouse cortical areas whose visual responses rely on SC, with the most lateral showing the strongest SC-dependence. This system is driven by a genetically defined cell type that connects the SC to the pulvinar thalamic nucleus. Finally, we show that SC-dependent cortices distinguish self-generated from externally generated visual motion. Hence, lateral visual areas comprise a system that relies on the tecto-thalamic pathway and contributes to processing visual motion as animals move through the environment.
