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

Fiber photometry enables recording of population neuronal calcium dynamics in awake mice. While the popularity of fiber photometry has grown in recent years, it remains unclear whether photometry reflects changes in action potential firing (that is, 'spiking') or other changes in neuronal calcium. In microscope-based calcium imaging, optical and analytical approaches can help differentiate somatic from neuropil calcium. However, these approaches cannot be readily applied to fiber photometry. As such, it remains unclear whether the fiber photometry signal reflects changes in somatic calcium, changes in nonsomatic calcium or a combination of the two. Here, using simultaneous in vivo extracellular electrophysiology and fiber photometry, along with in vivo endoscopic one-photon and two-photon calcium imaging, we determined that the striatal fiber photometry does not reflect spiking-related changes in calcium and instead primarily reflects nonsomatic changes in calcium.
