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

Copper ions play a fundamental role in plant metabolism where its uptake and distribution within the organism is highly regulated, allowing the cells to sustain an adequate concentration. Shortage or excess of Cu can cause severe damage to the organisms endangering their survival. We recently reported a non-invasive method to follow the intracellular uptake of bivalent copper ion concentration by fluorescence lifetime microscopy of green fluorescent protein within plant cells. Measuring the fluorescence lifetime has the advantage of being independent on the fluorophore concentration and the excitation intensity. The use of GFP is beneficial because the protein can be introduced nondestructively. Here, we discuss the benefits of this approach as well as the possibility of applying this concept for the investigation of Cu redistribution and storage at the subcellular level. The fluorescence lifetime-encoded microscopic images are envisioned to map the copper distribution within plant cells not only qualitatively but even quantitatively. Time-lapse microscopy enables the following of cellular processes and the study of relevant transport mechanisms of copper in plant cells. Perspectives and necessary improvements are discussed.
