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

As we train multiple generations of students to narrowly design clever, carefully controlled experiments in our confined lab spaces, we may fail to notice, as a field, that we have overlooked fundamental aspects of human cognition. This is a first-person account of how our research and understanding of the neural code were forever transformed when we decided to open the lab's door to the natural world. This journey started with the decision to shift from controlled stimuli to natural dynamic and "messy" stimuli. This transition enabled us to focus on how information is accumulated and processed over time. As a result, we have discovered a new topographic mapping of the hierarchy of cortical processing timescales. I will conclude with a general observation of the paradigm shift occurring in the field as it increasingly emphasizes the study of the neural processes that underlie human behavior in natural, everyday contexts. I am excited to share this journey with you.
