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

Spatiotemporal dynamics of cellular proteins, including protein-protein interactions and conformational changes, is essential for understanding cellular functions such as synaptic plasticity, cell motility, and cell division. One of the best ways to understand the mechanisms of signal transduction is to visualize protein activity with high spatiotemporal resolution in living cells within tissues. Optogenetic probes such as fluorescent proteins, in combination with Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) techniques, enable the measurement of protein-protein interactions and conformational changes in response to signaling events in living cells. Of the various FRET detection systems, two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (2pFLIM) is one of the methods best suited to monitoring FRET in subcellular compartments of living cells located deep within tissues, such as brain slices. This review will introduce the principle of 2pFLIM-FRET and the use of chromoproteins for imaging intracellular protein activities and protein-protein interactions. Also, we will discuss two examples of 2pFLIM-FRET application: imaging actin polymerization in synapses of hippocampal neurons in brain sections and detecting small GTPase Cdc42 activity in astrocytes.
