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

Conventional microscopy techniques, namely, the confocal microscope or deconvolution processes, are resolution limited to approximately 200-250 nm by the diffraction properties of light as developed by Ernst Abbe in 1873. This diffraction limit is appreciably above the size of most multi-protein complexes, which are typically 20-50 nm in diameter. In the mid-2000s, biophysicists moved beyond the diffraction barrier by structuring the illumination pattern and then applying mathematical principles and algorithms to allow a resolution of approximately 100 nm, sufficient to address protein subcellular co-localization questions. This "breaking" of the diffraction barrier, affording resolution beyond 200 nm, is termed super-resolution microscopy. More recent approaches include single-molecule localization (such as photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM)/stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM)) and point spread function engineering (such as stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy). In this review, we explain basic principles behind currently commercialized super-resolution setups and address advantages and considerations in applying these techniques to protein co-localization in biological systems.
