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

We present new fluorophore-conjugates for dual-color photoactivation and super-resolution imaging inside live mammalian cells. These custom-designed, photo-caged Q-rhodamines and fluoresceins are cell-permeable, bright and localize specifically to intracellular targets. We utilized established orthogonal protein labeling strategies to precisely attach the photoactivatable fluorophores to proteins with subsequent activation of fluorescence by irradiation with UV light. That way, diffusive cytosolic proteins, histone proteins as well as filigree mitochondrial networks and focal adhesion proteins were visualized inside living cells. We applied the new photoactivatable probes in inverse fluorescence recovery after photo-bleaching (iFRAP) experiments, gaining real-time access to protein dynamics from live biological settings with resolution in space and time. Finally, we used the caged Q-rhodamine for photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM) on both fixed and live mammalian cells, where the superior molecular brightness and photo-stability directly resulted in improved localization precisions for different protein targets.
