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

Understanding the structural and functional organisation of brain networks is a fundamental objective in neuroscience, with three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of single-neuron morphology serving as a critical foundation. The Golgi staining method, which enables random neuronal labeling and provides high-contrast signals in both optical and X-ray microscopy, remains a valuable tool for morphological analysis. However, its widespread application in large-scale neuronal reconstructions is hindered by signal discontinuities in neuronal branches, high-density labeling, and complex background interference. While automated reconstruction methods perform well in sparsely labelled and morphologically simple neuronal populations, their effectiveness is limited in Golgi-stained samples. Here we develop a semi-automated single-neuron reconstruction method for Golgi-stained mouse brain neurons (SNR-Golgi). By integrating three key technical modules-background denoising, single-neuron extraction, and branch repair-SNR-Golgi significantly enhances the accuracy and completeness of neuronal reconstruction. In fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography (fMOST) datasets, SNR-Golgi demonstrated superior performance in neuronal reconstruction within the mouse somatosensory cortex, achieving a 30% increase in reconstructed branch count, a 76% improvement in total branch length, and a 3.7-fold increase in axonal length. Additionally, in synchrotron-based X-ray imaging datasets, SNR-Golgi enabled submicron-resolution 3D reconstruction of single neurons. These results demonstrate that SNR-Golgi effectively addresses the complexity of Golgi-stained samples and provides robust technical support for the structural analysis of brain neurons across various imaging modalities.
