Potential role of developmental experience in the emergence of the parvo-magno distinction.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. 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
While the division of the early visual pathway into parvo- and magnocellular systems with distinct response properties has long been established as a prominent organizing principle in mammalian visual systems, the factors that lead to its emergence remain unclear. Here, we provide a potential account of this emergence based on early sensory development. Specifically, we propose that the temporal confluence in the developmental progression of spatial frequency and chromatic sensitivities may significantly shape corresponding neuronal response properties characteristic of this division. Receptive field analyses of deep networks trained on developmentally inspired 'biomimetic' protocols support this proposal in both the spatial and temporal domain. Further, biomimetic training induces a more human-like bias towards global shape processing, potentially driven by magnocellular units. These results have implications for the emergence of a key aspect of visual pathway organization and applied relevance for the design of training procedures for computational vision systems.
