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

Neuromodulation is widely employed to enhance neural activity and restore impaired circuitry, yet current methods suffer from invasiveness, limited depth, or poor spatial resolution. Temporal interference stimulation (TIS) has emerged as a non-invasive approach to modulate deep brain regions via interference of high-frequency electric fields, achieving spatial selectivity. Despite its potential, the physiological effects remain unexplored. Here, we present a customized liquid metal-based neural interface to record electrophysiological responses to TIS across diverse neural tissues, from brain organoids to mouse brains. The softness of the interface minimizes invasiveness while ensuring stable access to deep neural regions. Electrophysiological analyses reveal TIS-induced dynamics in neurodevelopment and functional connectivity. Furthermore, we investigated latent neural dynamics, presenting population-level neural activity, to compare responses across models of differing complexity and maturity. By combining soft neural interfaces with multi-scale analyses, this study uncovers how neuromodulation shapes neural dynamics and supports the development of future therapeutic strategies.
