A Critical Look at Critical Periods.
Review in Annual review of vision science, 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
Over the past decade and a half, a new understanding has emerged of the role of vision during the critical period in the primary visual cortex. Rather than driving competition for cortical space, vision is now understood to inform the establishment of feature conjunctions that cannot be constructed intrinsically. Longitudinal imaging studies reveal that the establishment of these higher-order feature detectors is a remarkably dynamic process involving the gain and elimination of neurons from functional groups (e.g., binocular neurons with nonlinear response tuning). Experience exerts its influence selectively on this developing circuitry; some pathways require experience for normal development, while others appear to be intrinsically established. This difference drives the network dynamism that is exploited to construct novel cortical representations that best encode our local environment and inform our actions in it.
