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

Cross-modal responses are common in primary sensory cortex, yet a recent study showed that signals in primary visual cortex (V1) once labeled multisensory were instead more closely related to face movements. To what extent can multisensory processing in other modalities also be explained by face movements? We measured face movements and neural activity in awake mouse primary auditory cortex (A1) and V1 in response to visual and auditory stimulation as well as during spontaneous activity. We find that visual stimuli rarely evoke face movements, A1 responses to visual input remain robust even in the absence of face movement, and optogenetic silencing of V1 reduces A1 visual responses. Taken together, these results confirm that cross-modal responses in the auditory system are primarily sensory, not state driven, in origin.
