Coding of egocentric distance in the macaque ventral intraparietal area.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 encoding of three-dimensional visual information is of important in everyday life. Eye-movements challenge this spatial encoding: they shift the image of the outside world across the retina. In the macaque ventral intraparietal area (VIP), many neurons encode visual information irrespective of horizontal and vertical eye position. Does this gaze invariance of spatial encoding extend to egocentric distances? Such invariance would correspond to a shift of disparity-tuning curves by vergence angle. Here, monkeys fixated one of three distances (vergence), while a visual stimulus was shown at one of seven distances (disparity). Most neurons' activity was modulated independently by both disparity and eye vergence, and we did not observe shifts of disparity-tuning curves as expected from encoding egocentric distances at a single-cell level. By using population activity, however, we were able to decode egocentric distance. Our results provide further strong evidence for a role of area VIP in 3D space encoding.
