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

Combining optical properties with a limited choice of fluorophores turns single-molecule imaging in plants into a challenging task. This explains why the technique, despite its success in the field of animal cell biology, is far from being routinely applied in plant cell research. The same challenges, however, also apply to the application of single-molecule microscopy to any intact tissue or multicellular 3D cell culture. As recent and upcoming progress in fluorescence microscopy will permit single-molecule detection in the context of multicellular systems, plant tissue imaging will experience a huge benefit from this progress. In this review, we address every step of a single-molecule experiment, highlight the critical aspects of each and elaborate on optimizations and developments required for improvements. We relate each step to recent achievements, which have so far been conducted exclusively on the root epidermis of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with inclined illumination and show examples of single-molecule measurements using different cells or illumination schemes.
