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

Using freshly isolated animal retinas, we have conducted a series of experiments to test fast intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) that have time courses comparable to electrophysiological kinetics. In this Letter, we demonstrate the feasibility of in vivo imaging of fast IOSs in intact frogs. A rapid line-scan confocal ophthalmoscope was constructed to achieve high-speed IOS recording. By rejecting out-of-focus background light, the line-scan confocal imager provided the resolution to differentiate individual photoreceptors in vivo. Rapid confocal imaging disclosed robust IOSs with time courses comparable to retinal electroretinogram kinetics. High-resolution IOS images revealed both positive (increasing) and negative (decreasing) light responses, with subcellular complexity.
