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

Live imaging of the brain extracellular matrix (ECM) provides vital insights into changes that occur in neurological disorders. Current techniques such as second or third-harmonic generation offer limited contrast for live imaging of the brain ECM. Here, a new method, pan-ECM via chemical labeling of extracellular proteins, is introduced for live brain ECM imaging. pan-ECM labels all major ECM components in live tissue including the interstitial matrix, basement membrane, and perineuronal nets. pan-ECM enables in vivo observation of the ECM heterogeneity between the glioma core and margin, as well as the assessment of ECM deterioration under stroke condition, without ECM shrinkage from tissue fixation. These findings indicate that the pan-ECM approach is a novel way to image the entire brain ECM in live brain tissue with optical resolution. pan-ECM has the potential to advance the understanding of ECM in brain function and neurological diseases.
