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

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) has now become a unique tool in different fields ranging from three-dimensional (3D) tissue imaging to real-time functional imaging of neuronal activities. Nevertheless, obtaining high-quality artifact-free images from large, dense and inhomogeneous samples is the main challenge of the method that still needs to be adequately addressed. Here, we demonstrate significant enhancement of LSFM image qualities by using scanning non-diffracting illuminating beams, both through experimental and numerical investigations. The effect of static and scanning illumination with several beams are analyzed and compared, and it is shown that scanning 2D Airy light-sheet is minimally affected by the inhomogeneities in the samples, and provides higher contrasts and uniform resolution over a wide field-of-view, due to its reduced spatial coherence, self-healing feature and longer penetration depth. Further, the capabilities of the illumination scheme is utilized for both single-and double-wavelength 3D imaging of large and dense mammospheres of cancer tumor cells as complex inhomogeneous biological samples.
