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

Chemogenetic manipulation of neuronal activities has been enabled by a designer receptor (designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs, DREADD) that is activated exclusively by clozapine-N-oxide (CNO). Here, we applied CNO as a functional reporter probe to positron emission tomography (PET) of DREADD in living brains. Mutant human M4 DREADD (hM4Di) expressed in transgenic (Tg) mouse neurons was visualized by PET with microdose [ SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The present work provides the first successful demonstration of in vivo positron emission tomographic (PET) visualization of a chemogenetic designer receptor (designer receptor exclusively activated by designer drugs, DREADD) expressed in living brains. This technology has been applied to longitudinal PET reporter imaging of neuronal grafts differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells. Differentiated from currently used reporter genes for neuroimaging, DREADD has also been available for functional manipulation of target cells, which could be visualized by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a real-time manner. Multimodal imaging with PET/fMRI enables the visualization of the differentiation of iPSC-derived neural progenitors into mature neurons and DREADD-mediated functional manipulation along the time course of the graft and is accordingly capable of fortifying the utility of stem cells in cell replacement therapies.
