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

Attaining capability of label-free optical characterization of tissues will offer methodological advancement and possibilities for early clinical detection, which is of paramount importance in treating patients under clinical setups, for example, cancer. Here, we demonstrate the potential of autofluorescence exhibited by tissues as an enabling microscopic strategy to achieve high-resolution imagery data offering a wealth of clinically relevant information including possibility of three-dimensional rendering. Furthermore, we elucidate the use of analytic tools to extract numerical read-outs from such data with further implications in histopathology, pharmaceutics, toxicology, and screening purposes. This study summarizes the results obtained through a systematic autofluorescence-based investigation on murine and porcine gut tissues with an example of applying the technique in nanotoxicology. The study provides with a methodological roadmap toward developing a fast, effective, and robust platform enabling in-depth optical characterization of tissues.
