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

A wavelength-calibration method for prism-based spectral imaging of single-molecule (SM) fluorescence was developed. With this method, a wavelength reference is provided by photoluminescence from 50-nm-diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) binding with fluorophores. The AuNPs each bound with a SM fluorophore, either Alexa488 or Cy3, to form AuNP/fluorophore complexes in tris-HCl buffer. Each complex was immobilized on a silica slide and then excited by total-internal-reflection illumination to make it emit SM fluorescence and AuNP photoluminescence. The portion of the AuNP photoluminescence transmitted by a band-pass filter gives the wavelength reference. A spectral-imaging system composed of a prism-based spectroscope (with a reciprocal dispersion of about 4 nm/μm) and a charge-coupled device with 6.45-μm-square pixels was used to obtain an SM-fluorescence spectrum and a wavelength-reference spectrum. Through smoothed differentiation of these two spectra, the peak location of the former in relation to the latter was determined with subpixel precision. After that, the SM fluorophore was classified as either Alexa488 or Cy3 according to the peak location. The error rate of the classification was estimated to be only 0.3%.
