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

High-density microelectrode arrays have opened new possibilities for systems neuroscience, but brain motion relative to the array poses challenges for downstream analyses. We introduce DREDge (Decentralized Registration of Electrophysiology Data), a robust algorithm for the registration of noisy, nonstationary extracellular electrophysiology recordings. In addition to estimating motion from action potential data, DREDge enables automated, high-temporal-resolution motion tracking in local field potential data. In human intraoperative recordings, DREDge's local field potential-based tracking reliably recovered evoked potentials and single-unit spike sorting. In recordings of deep probe insertions in nonhuman primates, DREDge tracked motion across centimeters of tissue and several brain regions while mapping single-unit electrophysiological features. DREDge reliably improved motion correction in acute mouse recordings, especially in those made with a recent ultrahigh-density probe. Applying DREDge to recordings from chronic implantations in mice yielded stable motion tracking despite changes in neural activity between experimental sessions. These advances enable automated, scalable registration of electrophysiological data across species, probes and drift types, providing a foundation for downstream analyses of these rich datasets.
