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

In bistable perception, conscious experience alternates between two interpretations of an ambiguous stimulus. Functional imaging shows the activation of the inferior frontal cortex (IFC) during such reversals. However, it has remained unclear whether IFC involvement reflects post-perceptual processes such as attention or motor behavior, or contributes to perceptual updating itself. We examined bistable perception in patients with chronic ischemic stroke lesions. Patients with right middle cerebral artery (rMCA) lesions affecting the IFC (
