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

We introduce the basic elements of a spatio-angular theory of fluorescence microscopy, providing a unified framework for analyzing systems that image single fluorescent dipoles and ensembles of overlapping dipoles that label biological molecules. We model an aplanatic microscope imaging an ensemble of fluorescent dipoles as a linear Hilbert-space operator, and we show that the operator takes a particularly convenient form when expressed in a basis of complex exponentials and spherical harmonics-a form we call the dipole spatio-angular transfer function. We discuss the implications of our analysis for all quantitative fluorescence microscopy studies and lay out a path toward a complete theory.
