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

Multiphoton microscopy serves as an essential tool for high-resolution imaging of the living mouse brain. To facilitate optical access to the brain during imaging, the cranial window surgery is commonly used. However, this procedure restricts physical access above the imaging area and hinders the direct delivery of imaging agents and drugs. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a cannula delivery system that enables the implantation of a low-profile cannula nearly parallel to the brain surface at angles as shallow as 8 degrees, while maintaining compatibility with multiphoton microscopy. To validate this approach, we perform direct infusion and imaging of various fluorescent cell markers in the brain. Additionally, we successfully demonstrate tracking of degenerating neurons over time in Alzheimer's disease mice using Fluoro-Jade C. Furthermore, we show longitudinal imaging of brain tissue partial pressure of oxygen using a phosphorescent oxygen sensor. Our developed technique should enable a wide range of new longitudinal imaging studies in the mouse brain.
