Much higher covariation with foveation timing by superior colliculus than primary visual cortical neuronal activity.

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
The superior colliculus (SC) is a potent driver for orienting movements, but it also possesses short-latency visual responses. Even though such responses largely derive from direct primary visual cortical (V1) input, their relationship to V1 activity has never been analyzed with the same experimental subjects and stimuli. Here, we revisited pioneering observations that trial-by-trial variability in either SC or V1 visual responses may predict eye movement timing variability. We found that V1 covariation with behavioral variability was virtually non-existent in comparison to the SC, whether with respect to visual response onset latency, visual response strength, or pre-stimulus state. By far, our largest predictor of behavioral variability was visual response strength in SC visual-motor neurons. These results suggest that the SC reformats its sensory inputs for exploitation of the SC's proximity to the motor periphery; V1 aids in jumpstarting the sensing process, but the SC much more directly supports visually driven orienting.
