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 demonstrate the possibility of measuring FRET efficiency with a low-cost frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscope (FD-FLIM). The system utilizes single-frequency-modulated excitation, which enables the use of cost-effective laser sources and electronics, simplification of data acquisition and analysis, and a dual-channel detection capability. Following calibration with coumarin 6, we measured the apparent donor lifetime in mTFP1-mVenus FRET standards expressed in living cells. We evaluated the system's sensitivity by differentiating the short and long lifetimes of mTFP1 corresponding to the known standards' high and low FRET efficiency, respectively. Furthermore, we show that the lifetime of the vinculin tension sensor, VinTS, at focal adhesions (2.30  ±  0.16  ns) is significantly (p  <
