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

The study of intact cells and their signaling circuits with light requires a stimulation strategy that is focused, deeply penetrating, and does not damage them. Implanted optic fibers, light-emitting diodes, and luminescent materials operated externally with tissue-penetrating infrared (IR) light are invasive or limited by light attenuation around the illumination point. To overcome these barriers, two-photon pharmacology takes advantage of femtosecond-pulsed IR laser light to produce deep and spatiotemporally precise cellular stimulation using specially designed photoswitchable drugs. Compounds that can be covalently tethered to the target neuroreceptor perform particularly well. However, the tethered photoswitches reported to date require mutagenesis of the target protein, which prevents the use of photopharmacology to stimulate the nervous system in wild-type animals. Here, we report the first two-photon optimized targeted covalent photoswitch (TCP
