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

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) fluorescence microscopy squeezes an excited spot well below the wavelength scale using a doughnut-shaped depletion beam. To generate a doughnut, a scale-free vortex phase modulation (2D-STED) is often used because it provides maximal transverse confinement and radial-aberration immunity (RAI) to the central dip. However, RAI also means blindness to a defocus term, making the axial origin of fluorescence photons uncertain within the wavelength scale provided by the confocal detection pinhole. Here, to reduce the uncertainty, we perturb the 2D-STED phase mask so as to change the sign of the axial concavity near focus, creating a dilated dip. By providing laser depletion power, the dip can be compressed back in three dimensions to retrieve lateral resolution, now at a significantly higher contrast. We test this coherent-hybrid STED (CH-STED) mode in
