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

Fluorescence microscopy, especially confocal microscopy, has revolutionized the field of biological imaging. Breaking the optical diffraction barrier of conventional light microscopy, through the advent of super-resolution microscopy, has ushered in the potential for a second revolution through unprecedented insight into nanoscale structure and dynamics in biological systems. Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is one such super-resolution microscopy technique which provides real-time enhanced-resolution imaging capabilities. In addition, it can be easily integrated with well-established fluorescence-based techniques such as fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) in order to capture the structure of cellular membranes at the nanoscale with high temporal resolution. In this review, we discuss the theory of STED and different modalities of operation in order to achieve the best resolution. Various applications of this technique in cell imaging, especially that of neuronal cell imaging, are discussed as well as examples of application of STED imaging in unravelling structure formation on biological membranes. Finally, we have discussed examples from some of our recent studies on nanoscale structure and dynamics of lipids in model membranes, due to interaction with proteins, as revealed by combination of STED and FCS techniques.
