LUMIN: an automated graphical analysis toolbox for high-throughput calcium imaging of in vitro neuronal cultures.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived in vitro models, combined with advances in high-content live-cell calcium imaging, provide a powerful platform for disease modeling and drug screening. However, most calcium imaging analysis tools have been developed for in vivo applications with suboptimal features for processing data from cultured neurons. Here, we present LUMIN (Live-cell User Module for Imaging and analysis of Neuronal activity), a scalable and broadly applicable software that integrates a graphical user interface with automated data analysis encompassing single-cell segmentation, signal extraction, and activity quantification. Two analysis modules for transiently active or quiescent stimuli-evoked neurons make it broadly applicable for cultures with distinct functional properties. Its efficient data processing and linear time complexity enable processing thousands of cells within hours (~ 7000 cells from ~ 70 recordings per 30 min) on a standard laptop. We demonstrate LUMIN’s performance on human stem cell-derived ventral midbrain neurons through two applications: (1) modulation of spontaneous activity with well-characterized pharmacological compounds, and (2) evoking responses in quiescent neurons upon compound stimulation.
