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

objectiveImplantable polymer microelectrode arrays (pMEAs) offer stable integration with neural tissue but are not widely available. An academic resource model is explored as a means of standardizing and disseminating pMEAs.

methodsThe resource is based on a multi-project wafer model, originally developed in the semiconductor industry, allowing the simultaneous microfabrication of pMEAs with arbitrary designs. This model leverages innovations in design, manufacturing, and packaging to produce custom penetrating, surface, and cuff-type form-factors in batch and at low cost. Device quality is verified through benchtop testing and chronic electrophysiological recording in rats.

resultsTo date, over 1000 pMEAs (more than 50 designs) were provided to 45 academic labs. Implanted penetrating arrays in the hippocampus achieved high quality, chronic recordings from freely moving rats. Surface arrays reliably recorded electroencephalogram signals from the cortex and evoked potentials from the somatosensory cortex in awake rats.

conclusionEfficient production of custom pMEAs for research is possible through a unique resource model inspired by the semiconductor industry. SIGNIFICANCE: Greater access to pMEAs enables researchers to conduct new experiments across different regions of the nervous system, accelerating discoveries.
