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

The shape of a neuron can reveal interesting properties about its function. Therefore, morphological neuron characterization can contribute to a better understanding of how the brain works. However, one of the great challenges of neuroanatomy is the definition of morphological properties that can be used for categorizing neurons. This paper proposes a new methodology for neuron morphological analysis by considering different hierarchies of the dendritic tree for characterizing and categorizing neuronal cells. The methodology consists in using different strategies for decomposing the dendritic tree along its hierarchies, allowing the identification of relevant parts (possibly related to specific neuronal functions) for classification tasks. A set of more than 5000 neurons corresponding to 10 classes were examined with supervised classification algorithms based on this strategy. It was found that classification accuracies similar to those obtained by using whole neurons can be achieved by considering only parts of the neurons. Branches close to the soma were found to be particularly relevant for classification.
