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

We describe the use of a new imaging technology, fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), for the imaging of the calcium concentrations based on the fluorescence lifetime of a calcium indicator. The fluorescence lifetime of Quin-2 is shown to be highly sensitive to [Ca2+]. We create two-dimensional lifetime images using the phase shift and modulation of the Quin-2 in response to intensity-modulated light. The two-dimensional phase and modulation values are obtained using a gain-modulated image intensifier and a slow-scan CCD camera. The lifetime values in the 2D image were verified using standard frequency-domain measurements. Importantly, the FLIM method does not require the probe to display shifts in the excitation or emission spectra, which may allow Ca2+ imaging using other Ca2+ probes not in current widespread use due to the lack of spectral shifts. Fluorescence lifetime imaging can be superior to stationary (steady-state) imaging because lifetimes are independent of the local probe concentration and/or intensity, and should thus be widely applicable to chemical imaging using fluorescence microscopy.
