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

Most researchers agree that some stages of object recognition can proceed implicitly. Implicit recognition occurs when an object is automatically and unintentionally encoded and represented in the brain even though the object is irrelevant to the current task. No consensus has been reached as to what level of semantic abstraction processing can go implicitly. An informative method to explore the level of abstraction and the time courses of informational content in neural representations is representational similarity analysis (RSA). Here, we apply RSA to EEG data recorded while participants processed semantics of visually presented objects. Explicit focus on semantics was given when participants classified images of objects as manmade or natural. For implicit processing of semantics, participants judged the location of images on the screen. The category animate/inanimate as well as more concrete categories (e.g., birds, fruit, musical instruments, etc.) are processed implicitly whereas the category manmade/natural is not processed implicitly.
