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

Significance: Fiber photometry is a powerful tool for neuroscience. However, measured biosensor signals are contaminated by various artifacts (photobleaching and movement-related noise) that undermine analysis and interpretation. Currently, no universal pipeline exists to deal with these artifacts. Aim: We aim to evaluate approaches for obtaining artifact-corrected neural dynamic signals from fiber photometry data and provide recommendations for photometry analysis pipelines. Approach: Using simulated and real photometry data, we tested the effects of three key analytical decisions: choice of regression for fitting isosbestic control signals onto experimental signals [ordinary least squares (OLS) versus iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS)], low-pass filtering, and dF/F versus dF calculations. Results: IRLS surpassed OLS regression for fitting isosbestic control signals to experimental signals. We also demonstrate the efficacy of low-pass filtering signals and baseline normalization via dF/F calculations. Conclusions: We conclude that artifact-correcting experimental signals via low-pass filter, IRLS regression, and dF/F calculations is a superior approach to commonly used alternatives. We suggest these as a new standard for preprocessing signals across photometry analysis pipelines.
