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

Preparation of brain slices for electrophysiological and imaging experiments has been developed several decades ago, and the method is still widely used due to its simplicity and advantages over other techniques. It can be easily combined with other well established and recently developed methods as immunohistochemistry and morphological analysis or opto- and chemogenetics. Several aspects of this technique are covered by a plethora of excellent and detailed review papers, in which one can gain a deep insight of variations in it. In this chapter, I briefly describe the solutions, equipment, and preparation techniques routinely used in our laboratory. I also aim to present how certain "old school" brain slice lab devices can be made in a cost-efficient way. These devices can be easily adapted for the special needs of the experiments. I also aim to present some differences in the preparatory techniques of acutely isolated human brain tissue.
