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

Living cells are highly dynamic systems responding to a large variety of biochemical and mechanical stimuli over minutes, which are well controlled by e.g. optical tweezers. However, live cell investigation through fluorescence microscopy is usually limited not only by the spatial and temporal imaging resolution but also by fluorophore bleaching. Therefore, we designed a miniature light-sheet illumination system that is implemented in a conventional inverted microscope equipped with optical tweezers and interferometric tracking to capture 3D images of living macrophages at reduced bleaching. The horizontal light-sheet is generated with a 0.12 mm small cantilevered mirror placed at 45° to the detection axis. The objective launched illumination beam is reflected by the micro-mirror and illuminates the sample perpendicular to the detection axis. Lateral and axial scanning of both Gaussian and Bessel beams, together with an electrically tunable lens for fast focusing, enables rapid 3D image capture without moving the sample or the objective lens. Using scanned Bessel beams and line-confocal detection, an average axial resolution of 0.8 µm together with a 10-15 fold improved image contrast is achieved.
