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

Voltage imaging is a promising technique for high-speed recording of neuronal population activity. However, tissue scattering severely limits its application in dense neuronal populations. Here we adopt the principle of localization microscopy, a technique that enables super-resolution imaging of single molecules, to resolve dense neuronal activities in vivo. Leveraging the sparse activation of neurons during action potentials (APs), we precisely localize the fluorescence changes associated with each AP, creating a super-resolution image of neuronal activity. This approach, termed activity localization imaging (ALI), identifies overlapping neurons and separates their activities with over tenfold greater precision than what tissue scattering permits. We applied ALI to widefield, targeted illumination and light sheet microscopy data, resolving neurons that cannot be distinguished by existing signal extraction pipelines. In the mouse hippocampus, ALI generates a cellular resolution map of theta oscillations, revealing the diversity of neuronal phase locking within a dense local network.
