Active Filtering: A Predictive Function of Recurrent Circuits of Sensory Cortex.
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 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
Our brains encode many features of the sensory world into memories: We can sing along with songs we have heard before, interpret spoken and written language composed of words we have learned, and recognize faces and objects. Where are these memories stored? Each area of cerebral cortex has a huge number of local recurrent excitatory-excitatory synapses, as many as 500 million per cubic millimeter. Here I outline evidence for the theory that cortical recurrent connectivity in sensory cortex is a substrate for sensory memories. Evidence suggests that the local recurrent network encodes the structure of natural sensory input and that it does so via active filtering, transforming network inputs to boost or select those associated with natural sensation. Active filtering is a form of predictive processing-in which the cortical recurrent network selectively amplifies some input patterns and attenuates others-and a form of memory.
