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

Transcranial brain stimulation is a promising technology for safe modulation of brain function without invasive procedures. Recent advances in transcranial optogenetic techniques with external light sources, using upconversion particles and highly sensitive opsins, have shown promise for precise neuromodulation with improved spatial resolution in deeper brain regions. However, these methods have not yet been used to selectively excite or inhibit specific neural populations in multiple brain regions. In this study, we created a wireless transcranial optogenetic brain modulator that combines highly sensitive opsins and upconversion particles and allows for precise bimodal neuromodulation of multiple brain regions without optical crosstalk. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach in freely behaving mice. Furthermore, we demonstrate its usefulness in studies of complex behaviors and brain dysfunction by controlling extorting behavior in mice in food competition tests and alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Our approach has potential applications in the study of neural circuits and development of treatments for various brain disorders.
