Viral vectors for opto-electrode recording and photometry-based imaging of oxytocin neurons in anesthetized and socially interacting rats.
Article in STAR protocols, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Here, we present a step-by-step protocol to target, record, and manipulate the activity of oxytocin neurons in awake rats. The protocol includes a procedure to record the activity of oxytocin neurons from awake and socially interacting rats using opto-electrodes for simultaneous electrophysiological recording and virally based cell-type-specific opto-tagging with Channelrhodopsin 2. Furthermore, we illustrate a procedure for optically guided implantation of optic fiber and imaging of oxytocin neuron population activity expressing calcium indicator GCaMP6s with the fiber photometry technique. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Tang et al., 2020.
