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

Neurotransmitters and neuromodulators are key neurochemicals that mediate cell-cell communication, maintain the body's homeostasis, and control a wide range of biological processes. Thus, dysregulation of neurochemical signaling is associated with a range of psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases. Understanding the physiological and pathophysiological functions of neurochemicals, particularly in complex biological systems in vivo, requires tools that can probe their dynamics with high sensitivity and specificity. Recently, genetically encoded fluorescent sensors for visualizing specific neurochemicals were developed by coupling neurochemical-sensing G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with a circular-permutated fluorescent protein. These GPCR-based sensors can monitor the dynamics of neurochemicals in behaving animals with high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we review recent progress regarding the development and application of GPCR-based sensors for imaging neurochemicals, and we discuss future perspectives.
