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

Perceptual decisions are widely modeled as the accumulation of evidence to a bound. In the lateral intraparietal area (LIP), this computation is thought to be implemented in a low-dimensional population representation organized around the single action used to report the choice, consistent with an intentional framework. The intentional framework, however, implies that changing the behavioral demands on the report should change the representation itself, raising a question about the generality of the low-dimensional decision representation described in LIP: is it a special case of decisions reported through a single action, or does it reflect a more general computational architecture that can support multiple behavioral outputs? We tested this by training monkeys to report the
