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

Whole-brain analysis of single-neuron morphology is crucial for unraveling the complex structure of the brain. However, large-scale neuron reconstruction from terabyte and even petabyte data of mammalian brains generated by state-of-the-art light microscopy is a daunting task. Here, we developed 'Gapr' (Gapr accelerates projectome reconstruction) that streamlines deep learning-based automatic reconstruction, 'automatic proofreading' that reduces human workloads at high-confidence sites, and high-throughput collaborative proofreading by crowd users through the Internet. Furthermore, Gapr offers a seamless user interface that ensures high proofreading speed per annotator, on-demand conversion for handling large datasets, flexible workflows tailored to diverse datasets and rigorous error tracking for quality control. Finally, we demonstrated Gapr's efficacy by reconstructing over 4,000 neurons in mouse brains, revealing the morphological diversity in cortical interneurons and hypothalamic neurons. Here, we present Gapr as a solution for large-scale single-neuron reconstruction projects.
