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 compare the performance of linear and nonlinear methods for aligning the excitation and detection planes throughout volumes of large specimens in digitally scanned light sheet microscopy. An effective nonlinear method involves the registration of four corner extrema of the imaging volume via a projective transform. We show that this improves the light collection efficiency of the commonly used three-point affine registration by an average of 42% over a typical specimen volume. Accurate illumination/detection registration methods are now pertinent to biological research in view of current trends towards imaging large or expanded samples, at depth, with diffraction limited resolution.
