Invariant inter-subject relational structures in high order human visual cortex.
Article in Nature communications, 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
It is a fundamental of behavior that different individuals see the world in a largely similar manner. This is an essential basis for humans' ability to cooperate and communicate. However, what are the neural properties that underlie these inter-subject commonalities of our visual world? Finding out what aspects of neural coding remain invariant across individuals' brains will shed light not only on this fundamental question but will also point to the neural coding scheme at the basis of visual perception. Here, we address this question by obtaining intracranial recordings from three groups of patients taking part in a visual recognition task (overall 19 patients and 244 high-order visual contacts included in the analyses) and examining the neural coding scheme that was most consistent across individuals' visual cortex. Our results highlight relational coding - expressed by the set of similarity distances between profiles of pattern activations-as the most consistent representation across individuals. Alternative coding schemes, such as activation pattern coding or linear coding, failed to achieve similar inter-subject consistency. Our results thus support relational coding as the central neural code underlying individuals' shared perceptual content in the human brain.
