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

In the visual cortices, receptive fields (RFs) are arranged in a gradient from small sizes in the center of the visual field to the largest sizes at the periphery. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) mapping of population RFs, we investigated RF adaptation in V1, V2, and V3 in patients after long-term photoreceptor degeneration affecting the central (Stargardt disease [STGD]) and peripheral (Retinitis Pigmentosa [RP]) regions of the retina. In controls, we temporarily limited the visual field to the central 10° to model peripheral loss. The central loss experienced by STGD patients led to an increase in RF size in the dorsal subdivisions of V1, V2, and V3. In contrast, peripheral loss in RP patients led to a bilateral increase in population RF sizes in V1 but a decrease in V2. Transient peripheral loss in controls led to an increase in RF size in V1 and a decrease in V2 and V3, regardless of the dorsal-ventral division of the cortical representation. Our findings suggest a dorsal-ventral difference in RF size in response to central visual field loss, likely reflecting the functional relevance of these divisions within the cortical representations of the visual field.
