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

Calcium imaging data promises to transform the field of neuroscience by making it possible to record from large populations of neurons simultaneously. However, determining the exact moment in time at which a neuron spikes, from a calcium imaging data set, amounts to a non-trivial deconvolution problem which is of critical importance for downstream analyses. While a number of formulations have been proposed for this task in the recent literature, in this article, we focus on a formulation recently proposed in Jewell and Witten (2018. Exact spike train inference via $\ell_{0} $ optimization. The Annals of Applied Statistics12(4), 2457-2482) that can accurately estimate not just the spike rate, but also the specific times at which the neuron spikes. We develop a much faster algorithm that can be used to deconvolve a fluorescence trace of 100 000 timesteps in less than a second. Furthermore, we present a modification to this algorithm that precludes the possibility of a "negative spike". We demonstrate the performance of this algorithm for spike deconvolution on calcium imaging datasets that were recently released as part of the $\texttt{spikefinder}$ challenge (http://spikefinder.codeneuro.org/). The algorithm presented in this article was used in the Allen Institute for Brain Science's "platform paper" to decode neural activity from the Allen Brain Observatory; this is the main scientific paper in which their data resource is presented. Our $\texttt{C++}$ implementation, along with $\texttt{R}$ and $\texttt{python}$ wrappers, is publicly available. $\texttt{R}$ code is available on $\texttt{CRAN}$ and $\texttt{Github}$, and $\texttt{python}$ wrappers are available on $\texttt{Github}$; see https://github.com/jewellsean/FastLZeroSpikeInference.
