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

Elementary events such as puffs and sparks are cytosolic microdomains of Ca2+ from which cellular Ca2+ signals are constructed. Because of the tight localization and fast kinetics of elementary events, imaging studies have been hindered by instrumental limitations of confocal and deconvolution fluorescence microscopy which necessitate compromises between spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we describe a novel, yet simple 'multi-focal' fluorescence microscopy system that employs three high-speed cameras focused at different axial depths to enable 4-dimensional imaging with millisecond resolution. We demonstrate the utility of this system for studies of puffs in Xenopus oocytes by mapping the axial distribution of puff sites, by obtaining measurements of puff amplitudes undistorted by focus error, and by deriving deblurred images that reveal novel sub-micron jumps of Ca2+ release sites.
