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

Fluorescence imaging technology has been extensively applied in chemical and biological research profiting from its high sensitivity and specificity. Much attention has been devoted to breaking the light diffraction-limited spatial resolution. However, it remains a great challenge to improve the axial resolution in a way that is accessible in general laboratories. Surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE), generated by the interactions between surface plasmons and excited fluorophores in close vicinity of the thin metal film, offers an opportunity for optical imaging with potential application in analysis of molecular and biological systems. Benefiting from the highly directional and distance-dependent properties, SPCE imaging (SPCEi) has displayed excellent performance in bioimaging with improved sensitivity and axial confinement. Herein, we give a brief overview of the development of SPCEi. We describe the unique optical characteristics and constructions of SPCEi systems and highlight recent advances in the use of SPCEi for biological applications. We hope this review provides readers with both the insights and future prospects of SPCEi as a new promising imaging platform for potentially widespread applications in biological research and medical diagnostics.
