Head-mounted central venous access during optical recordings and manipulations of neural activity in mice.
Review in Nature protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Establishing reliable intravenous catheterization in mice with optical implants allows the combination of neural manipulations and recordings with rapid, time-locked delivery of pharmacological agents. Here we present a procedure for handmade jugular vein catheters designed for head-mounted intravenous access and provide surgical and postoperative guidance for improved survival and patency. A head-mounted vascular access point eliminates the need for a back-mounted button in animals already receiving neural implants, thereby reducing sites of implantation. This protocol, which is readily adoptable by experimenters with previous training and experience in mouse surgery, enables repeated fiber photometry recordings or optogenetic manipulation during drug delivery in adult mice that are awake and behaving, whether head fixed or freely moving. With practice, an experienced surgeon requires ~30 min to perform catheterization on each mouse. Altogether, these techniques facilitate the reliable and repeated delivery of pharmacological agents in mouse models while simultaneously recording at high temporal resolution and/or manipulating neural populations.
