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

Optical imaging of brain activity has mostly employed genetically manipulated mice, which cannot be translated to clinical human usage. Observation of brain activity directly is challenging due to the difficulty in delivering dyes and other agents through the blood brain barrier (BBB). Using fluorescence imaging, we have demonstrated the feasibility of delivering the near-infrared voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) IR-780 perchlorate to the brain tissue through pharmacological techniques, via an adenosine agonist (regadenoson). Comparison of VSD fluorescence of mouse brains without and with regadenoson showed significantly increased residence time of the fluorescence signal in the latter case, indicative of VSD diffusion into the brain tissue. Dose and timing of regadenoson were varied to optimize BBB permeability for VSD delivery.
