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

High-precision fluorescence microscopy such as superresolution imaging or single-particle tracking often requires an online drift correction method to maintain the stability of the three-dimensional (3D) position of the sample at a nanometer precision throughout the entire data acquisition process. Current online drift correction methods require modification of the existing two-dimensional (2D) fluorescence microscope with additional optics and detectors, which can be cumbersome and limit its use in many biological laboratories. Here we report a simple marker-assisted online drift correction method in which all 3D positions can be derived from fiducial markers on the coverslip of the sample on a standard 2D fluorescence microscope without additional optical components. We validate this method by tracking the long-term 3D stability of single-molecule localization microscopy at a precision of <2 and 5 nm in the lateral and axial dimension, respectively. We then provide three examples to evaluate the performance of the marker-assisted drift correction method. Finally, we give an example of a biological application of superresolution imaging of spatiotemporal alteration for a DNA replication structure with both low-abundance newly synthesized DNAs at the early onset of DNA synthesis and gradually condensed DNA structures during DNA replication. Using an isogenic breast cancer progression cell line model that recapitulates normal-like, precancerous, and tumorigenic stages, we characterize a distinction in the DNA replication process in normal, precancerous, and tumorigenic cells.
