The neural basis of visual processing and behavior in cephalopods.
Review in Current biology : CB, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Coleoid cephalopods (octopuses, squids and cuttlefishes) are the only branch of the animal kingdom outside of vertebrates to have evolved both a large brain and camera-type eyes. They are highly dependent on vision, with the majority of their brain devoted to visual processing. Their excellent vision supports a range of advanced visually guided behaviors, from navigation and prey capture, to the ability to camouflage based on their surroundings. However, their brain organization is radically different from that of vertebrates, as well as other invertebrates, providing a unique opportunity to explore how a novel neural architecture for vision is organized and functions. Relatively few studies have examined the cephalopod visual system using current neuroscience approaches, to the extent that there has not even been a measurement of single-cell receptive fields in their central visual system. Therefore, there remains a tremendous amount that is unknown about the neural basis of vision in these extraordinary animals. Here, we review the existing knowledge of the organization and function of the cephalopod visual system to provide a framework for examining the neural circuits and computational mechanisms mediating their remarkable visual capabilities.
