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

Two-photon microscopy (TPM) has come to occupy a prominent place in modern biological research with its ability to resolve the three-dimensional distribution of molecules deep inside living tissue. TPM can employ two different types of signals, fluorescence and second harmonic generation, to image biological structures with subcellular resolution. Two-photon excited fluorescence imaging is a powerful technique with which to monitor the dynamic behavior of the chemical components of tissues, whereas second harmonic imaging provides novel ways to study their spatial organization. Using TPM, great strides have been made toward understanding the metabolism, structure, signal transduction, and signal transmission in the eye. These include the characterization of the spatial distribution, transport, and metabolism of the endogenous retinoids, molecules essential for the detection of light, as well as the elucidation of the architecture of the living cornea. In this review, we present and discuss the current applications of TPM for the chemical and structural imaging of the eye. In addition, we address what we see as the future potential of TPM for eye research. This relatively new method of microscopy has been the subject of numerous technical improvements in terms of the optics and indicators used, improvements that should lead to more detailed biochemical characterizations of the eyes of live animals and even to imaging of the human eye in vivo.
