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

Neuronal shape reconstruction is a helpful technique for establishing neuron identity, inferring neuronal connections, mapping neuronal circuits, and so on. Advances in optical imaging techniques have enabled data collection that includes the shape of a neuron across the whole brain, considerably extending the scope of neuronal anatomy. However, such datasets often include many fuzzy neurites and many crossover regions that neurites are closely attached, which make neuronal shape reconstruction more challenging. In this study, we proposed a convex image segmentation model for neuronal shape reconstruction that segments a neurite into cross sections along its traced skeleton. Both the sparse nature of gradient images and the rule that fuzzy neurites usually have a small radius are utilized to improve neuronal shape reconstruction in regions with fuzzy neurites. Because the model is closely related to the traced skeleton point, we can use this relationship for identifying neurite with crossover regions. We demonstrated the performance of our model on various datasets, including those with fuzzy neurites and neurites with crossover regions, and we verified that our model could robustly reconstruct the neuron shape on a brain-wide scale.
