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

backgroundThe human visual system is capable of processing large quantities of visual objects with varying levels of abstraction. The brain also exhibits hierarchical integration and learning capabilities that combine various attributes of visual objects (e.g., color, shape, local features, and categories) into coherent representations. However, prevailing theories in visual neuroscience employ simple stimuli or natural images with uncontrolled feature correlations, which constrains the systematic investigation of multidimensional representation dynamics.

methodsIn this study, we aimed to bridge this methodological gap by developing a novel large tangram paradigm in visual cognition research and proposing cognitive-associative encoding as a mathematical basis. Critical representation dimensions-including animacy, abstraction level, and local feature density-were computed across a public dataset of over 900 tangrams, enabling the construction of a hierarchical model of visual representation.

resultsNeural responses to 85 representative images were recorded using Electroencephalography (

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that tangram stimuli, structured through cognitive-associative encoding, provide a generalizable computational framework for investigating the dynamic stages of human visual object cognition.
