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

Flexible implantable neural electrodes have been studied extensively due to their chronic single-unit recording capability over weeks or months. However, high-density stable recording of the same neuronal ensembles over years-long periods remains challenging. Here we address this challenge by developing umbrella-type stretchable electrode arrays, which are anchored to surrounding brain tissue, forming a seamless neuroelectronic interface. We show that the umbrella-type stretchable electrode arrays create a neuroelectronic interface with reduced probe drift and gliosis that can stably track the same neuronal ensembles in head-fixed mice over 80 weeks (approximately 1.5 years). We also demonstrate that orientation-selective neuronal populations in the mouse primary visual cortex can be consistently recorded over 20 weeks. The umbrella-type stretchable electrode arrays with long-term recording capabilities hold significant promise for both fundamental neuroscience research and clinical brain-machine interface systems.
