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 serious obstacle for understanding early spatial vision comes from the failure of the so-called standard model (SM) to predict the perception of plaid masking. But the SM originated from a major oversimplification of single neuron computations, ignoring fundamental properties of dendrites. Here we show that a spatial vision model including computations mimicking the input-dependent nature of dendritic nonlinearities, i.e. including nonlinear neural summation, has the potential to explain plaid masking data.
