Spectral fiber photometry derives hemoglobin concentration changes for accurate measurement of fluorescent sensor activity.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 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
Fiber photometry is an emerging technique for recording fluorescent sensor activity in the brain. However, significant hemoglobin absorption artifacts in fiber photometry data may be misinterpreted as sensor activity changes. Because hemoglobin exists widely in the brain, and its concentration varies temporally, such artifacts could impede the accuracy of photometry recordings. Here we present use of spectral photometry and computational methods to quantify photon absorption effects by using activity-independent fluorescence signals, which can be used to derive oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin concentration changes. Although these changes are often temporally delayed compared with the fast-responding fluorescence spikes, we found that erroneous interpretation may occur when examining pharmacology-induced sustained changes and that sometimes hemoglobin absorption could flip the GCaMP signal polarity. We provide hemoglobin-based correction methods to restore fluorescence signals and compare our results with other commonly used approaches. We also demonstrated the utility of spectral fiber photometry for delineating regional differences in hemodynamic response functions.
