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

Photothermal neuromodulation is a promising non-electrical neural stimulation technology for treating brain diseases through optically induced cell membrane temperature changes. However, the technology faces limitations in understanding its mechanism and impact on cellular behavior due to the restriction of directly measuring temperature changes at the cell interface from a very close distance during optical stimulation of neural cells, necessitating advancements in high-precision temperature sensing and electrical recording without light interference. This challenge is addressed by developing ultrasensitive cell membrane interface temperature sensors integrated with low-noise electrical recording capabilities. Transparent resistive temperature detectors, composed of a 10 nm thickness of ultrathin Au film fabricated by polyelectrolyte seed layer-induced thermal evaporation, achieved precise measurement and control of temperature changes without significant light interference and self-heating. A transparent electrode composed of the same ultrathin Au layer shows low-noise electrical recordings of neural signals upon photothermal stimulation. Using this multifunctional system, it is demonstrated that an average increase of 2.34 °C at neuronal cell surfaces results in over 95% suppression of hippocampal neural spike activities. The approach provides unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of photothermal neuromodulation and its effects on cellular behavior, paving the way for advanced treatments of neurological disorders.
