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

Calcium imaging is a powerful tool to explore communication in neural networks. The hypothalamus is the region of the brain that regulates functions such as reproduction, appetite, lactation, stress, or hydration. Understanding the orchestration of neural networks in this region is a fundamental question of neuroscience. Calcium imaging can be used and performed not only on dissociated cells and acute brain slices but also on living animals. To date, the ideal experimental setup to explore nutrient sensing in the hypothalamus is acute brain calcium imaging. The technique readily incorporates pharmacological tools, as it uses bath applications or patch puffing. The technique can also be coupled with electrophysiological recordings.Here is presented the technical protocol for calcium imaging on acute brain slices of mice hypothalami.
