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

Understanding the physiological impact of transcranial ultrasound in rodent brains may offer an important preclinical model for human scale magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound methods. However, precision tools for high-resolution transcranial ultrasound targeting and real-time in vivo tracking of its effects at the mouse brain scale are currently lacking. We report a versatile bidirectional hybrid fluorescence-ultrasound (FLUS) system incorporating a 0.35-mm precision spherical-phased array ultrasound emission with a fiberscope-based wide-field fluorescence imaging. We show how the marriage between cortex-wide functional imaging and targeted ultrasound delivery can be used to transcranially map previously undocumented localized fluorescence events caused by reversible thermal processes and perform high-speed large-scale recording of neural activity induced by focused ultrasound. FLUS thus naturally harnesses the extensive toolbox of fluorescent tags and ultrasound’s localized bioeffects toward visualizing and causally perturbing a plethora of normal and pathophysiological processes in the living murine brain.
