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

Blindsight is often described as a chronic ability in which stimuli within a cortically blind field guide behavior without reported awareness. Because most studies examine established deficits, spontaneous recovery, practice, and compensation may already have reshaped performance. Sepe et al. instead assessed visuomotor behavior 3 to 4 weeks after unilateral V1 damage in 2 macaques. Normal saccades to blind-field targets were rare, but responses were structured: temporal cueing increased delayed, inaccurate, and multistep eye movements, while catch trials showed bias toward the scotoma border. These errors indicate residual but poorly calibrated visuomotor processing, consistent with early reweighting of V1-independent circuits, and may inform longitudinal studies and early rehabilitation.
