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

A goal of vision science is to develop computational models that characterize the fundamental response properties of neurons in visual cortex. One such property is spatial frequency (SF) tuning: neural populations in visual cortex selectively respond to specific bands of SF, which determines the level of detail, coarse or fine, represented from the visual input. The Population Spatial Frequency Toolbox (pSF-Toolbox) is a MATLAB package for characterizing the SF tuning of neural populations from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. This open-source toolbox includes stimulus presentation scripts and voxel-wise parameter optimization tools validated across a range of vision studies.
