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

Imaging neural activities across large volumes at subcellular resolution without impeding animal behaviors remains difficult. Here, we develop a high-throughput miniature Bessel-beam two-photon microscope (miniBB2p) capable of imaging calcium dynamics from neurons and dendrites over a volume of 420 × 420 × 80 μm³ during free behavior. We share a full description of miniBB2p and demonstrate its ability to perform large-scale recordings of the calcium activities of more than 1000 neurons at a time in anterior cingulate cortex and secondary motor cortex of freely moving mice in various behavioral paradigms. Our results position miniBB2p to advance the design of miniature multiphoton microscopes, facilitating precise monitoring of neural activities across large populations within a three-dimensional volume in freely moving animals.
