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

Accurately visualizing epinephrine (EP) activity is essential for understanding its physiological functions and pathological processes in brain. However, to the best of our knowledge, reliable, rapid, and specifical measurement of EP dynamics at cellular and in vivo level hasn't been previously reported. Herein, we report the probe for EP imaging and biosensing in neurons and living brain of freely behaving animals, based on creating a series of supramolecular fluorescent chemodosimeters through host-guest interaction. The optimized chemodosimeter enables real-time imaging and quantifying of EP with high specificity, sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and rapid kinetics (~240 ms) in neurons, brain tissues and zebrafish. More significantly, we demonstrate real-time monitoring of EP in 26 regions within deep brain of freely behaving male mice, unraveling an augmented EP concentration in the amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus and striatum under fear-induced stress. These findings highlight our chemodosimeter as a powerful tool for precise measurements of EP dynamics in diverse model organisms.
