Evaluating the Talbot-Plateau law.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The Talbot-Plateau law asserts that when the flux (light energy) of a flicker-fused stimulus equals the flux of a steady stimulus, they will appear equal in brightness. To be perceived as flicker-fused, the frequency of the flash sequence must be high enough that no flicker is perceived, i.e., it appears to be a steady stimulus. Generally, this law has been accepted as being true across all brightness levels, and across all combinations of flash duration and frequency that generate the matching flux level. Two experiments that were conducted to test the law found significant departures from its predictions, but these were small relative to the large range of flash intensities that were tested.
