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

Understanding the behavioral and morphological dynamics of moving model organisms like the zebrafish larvae requires accurate, high-throughput 3D analysis. However, traditional single-view 2D video tracking fails to capture the full scope of natural 3D movements and postural dynamics. Here, we present a novel high-throughput 24-camera array microscope with a co-designed "mirrored well plate" that allows for snapshot imaging of up to 48 wells over a 118 mm × 82 mm field of view from two orthogonal directions (i.e., a top-view and side-view). Accurate 3D position estimation and tracking is achieved with an efficient machine learning algorithm that scales well to high-throughput measurements. The proposed approach automates parallelized 3D model organism behavioral analysis, providing 3D skeletal tracking, swim bladder morphological dynamics, and kinematics of up to 48 swimming zebrafish larvae at up to several hundred frames per second. The result is an efficient and scalable solution for high-throughput 3D behavioral studies with broad compatibility with standard workflows across laboratories and procedures working with pharmacology, toxicology, and neuroscience.
