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

Dynamic signaling by extracellular and intracellular molecules impacts downstream pathways in a cell-type-specific manner. Fluorescent reporters of such signals are typically optimized to detect fast, relative changes in concentration of target molecules. They are less well suited to detect slowly changing signals and rarely provide absolute measurements. Here, we developed fluorescence lifetime photometry at high temporal resolution (FLIPR), which utilizes frequency-domain analog processing to measure the absolute fluorescence lifetime of genetically encoded sensors at high speed but with long-term stability and picosecond precision. We applied FLIPR to investigate dopamine signaling in functionally distinct striatal subregions. We observed higher tonic dopamine levels in the tail of the striatum compared with the nucleus accumbens core and differential and dynamic responses in phasic and tonic dopamine to appetitive and aversive stimuli. Thus, FLIPR reports fast and slow timescale neuronal signaling in absolute units, revealing previously unappreciated spatial and temporal variation even in well-studied signaling systems.
