Varieties of imagery and perception: the structure of task differences.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: This study assessed the dimensions and factors underlying visual mental imagery abilities in young healthy participants. A second purpose was to compare the underlying pattern of factors and dimensions in imagery with those in the corresponding perception tasks. Methods: We administered 15 tasks to 32 participants, assessing a wide range of imagery abilities, including imagery for faces, common objects, colors, words, mental rotation, scanning, image maintenance, auditory imagery, and tactile imagery. Response times and error rates were correlated for the imagery and for the perception tasks separately. The matrices were then analyzed using nonmetric multidimensional scaling and principal components analysis. Results: All analyses indicated the presence of two main clusters, one that appeared to correspond to tasks that draw on the object-properties "ventral system" and one that appeared to correspond to tasks that draw on the spatial-properties "dorsal system." Discussion: These results indicate a common segregation of the two major processing systems in visual imagery and visual perception.
