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

In this study, we demonstrate a noninvasive imaging approach based on multimodal nonlinear optical microscopy to in vivo image the responses of immune cells (neutrophils) to the tissue injury and bacterial infection in a zebrafish model. Specifically, the second harmonic generation from myosin thick filaments in sarcomere enabled a clear visualization of the muscle injury and infection. Two-photon excited fluorescence was used to track the behavior of the neutrophils that were transgenically labeled by red fluorescent protein. The corresponding reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) two-photon excited fluorescence images revealed a detailed morphological transformation process of individual neutrophils during muscle tissue injury and bacterial infection. The analysis of time-resolved NADH signals from the neutrophils provided important biological insights of the cellular energy metabolism during the immune responses. We found a significant increase of free/protein-bound NADH ratios in activated neutrophils in bacterial-infected tissue. In this study, we also discovered that, under 720 nm excitation, two wild-type strains (DH5? and BL21) of bacteria Escherichia coli emitted distinct endogenous fluorescence of double-peak at ?450 and ?520 nm, respectively. We demonstrated that the double-peak fluorescence signal could be used to differentiate the E. coli from surrounding tissues of dominant NADH signals, and to achieve label-free tracking of E. coli bacteria in vivo.
