Human color constancy in cast shadows.
Article in i-Perception. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Illumination conditions inside and outside cast shadows typically differ significantly in both intensity and in chromaticity. However, our daily experiences suggest that we generally have no difficulty in stably perceiving surface color in cast shadows. In this study, two experiments were conducted to measure the extent to which color constancy holds within cast shadows. We constructed a scene with colored hexagons illuminated by two projectors simulating "sunlight" and "skylight." Part of the scene included a cast shadow, illuminated only by the skylight, where a subjective white point was measured. We also created a condition in which a cast shadow was not perceived as a shadow. Results showed that color constancy generally holds well in shadows, and the color of skylight had varying effects depending on observers. Perceiving a cast shadow as a shadow had no effect. Overall, these findings are consistent with our daily experiences, in which we stably judge objects' color even within cast shadows.
