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

mEos3.2 is a photoconvertible fluorescence protein with comparatively low brightness, which limits its application in live Super resolution microscopy. To address this issue, we have used semi-rational protein engineering to develop mEosBrite, a new class of improved brightness variants. The improvement in the brightness was confirmed by expression in E.coli as well as mammalian cell lines. Furthermore, biophysical characterization suggests that all the three mEosBrite variant proteins display higher quantum yield, truly monomeric form, less cytotoxicity and lower protein aggregation as compared to the wild type mEos3.2 protein. Most importantly, because of their high photoconversion efficiency mEosBrite variants could be an excellent tool for single-molecule and intensity fluctuation based super-resolution microscopy.
