Temporal prediction captures retinal spiking responses across animal species.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 retina's role in visual processing has been viewed as two extremes: an efficient compressor of incoming visual stimuli, akin to a camera, or a predictor of future stimuli. Addressing this dichotomy, we developed a spiking neural network model of the retina trained on natural movies under metabolic-like constraints to either encode the present or to predict future scenes. When optimized for efficient temporal prediction ~100 ms into the future, the model not only captures retina-like receptive fields and their mosaic-like organizations, but also exhibits complex retinal processes such as latency coding, motion anticipation, differential motion tuning, and stimulus-omission responses. Notably, the temporal prediction model also accurately predicts the way retinal ganglion cells respond across different animal species to natural images and movies. Our findings suggest that the retina is not merely a compressor of visual input, but rather is fundamentally organized to provide the brain with foresight into the visual world.
