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

Significance: The development of imaging systems that are cost-efficient and modular is essential for modern neuroscience research. Aim: In the current study, we designed, developed, and characterized a low-cost reversible tandem lens mesoscope for brain imaging in rodents. Approach: Using readily available components, we assembled a robust imaging system that is highly efficient and cost-effective. We developed a mesoscope that offers high-resolution structural and functional imaging with cost-effective lenses and CMOS camera. Results: The reversible tandem lens configuration of the mesoscope offers two fields of view (FOVs), which can be achieved by swapping the objective and imaging lenses. The large FOV configuration of Conclusions: The careful selection of the mesoscope components ensured its compactness, portability, and versatility, meaning that different types of samples and sample holders can be easily accommodated, enabling a range of different experiments both
