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

Recently, many super-resolution technologies have been demonstrated, significantly affecting biological studies by observation of cellular structures down to nanometer precision. However, current super-resolution techniques mostly rely on wavefront engineering or wide-field imaging of signal blinking or fluctuation, and thus imaging depths are limited due to tissue scattering or aberration. Here we present a technique that is capable of imaging through an intact Drosophila brain with 20-nm lateral resolution at ∼200 μm depth. The spatial resolution is provided by molecular localization of a photoconvertible fluorescent protein Kaede, whose red form is found to exhibit blinking state. The deep-tissue observation is enabled by optical sectioning of spinning disk microscopy, as well as reduced scattering from optical clearing. Together these techniques are readily available for many biologists, providing three-dimensional resolution of densely entangled dendritic fibers in a complete Drosophila brain. The method paves the way toward whole-brain neural network studies and is applicable to other high-resolution bioimaging.
