Multimodality in the Collicular Pathway: Towards Compensatory Visual Processes.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The integration of multisensory inputs plays a crucial role in shaping perception and behavior, particularly in the visual system. The collicular pathway, encompassing the optic tectum in non-mammalian vertebrates and the superior colliculus (SC) in mammals, is a key hub for integrating sensory information and mediating adaptive motor responses. Comparative studies across species reveal evolutionary adaptations that enhance sensory processing and contribute to compensatory mechanisms following neuronal injury. The present review outlines the structure and function of the multisensory visual pathways, emphasizing the retinocollicular projections, and their multisensory integration, which depends on synaptic convergence of afferents conveying information from different sensory modalities. The cellular mechanisms underlying multimodal integration remain to be fully clarified, and further investigations are needed to clarify the link between neuronal activity in response to multisensory stimulation and behavioral response involving motor activity. By exploring the interplay between fundamental neuroscience and translational applications, we aim to address multisensory integration as a pivotal target for its potential role in visual rehabilitation strategies.
