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 microscopy is a standard research tool in many fields, although collecting reliable images can be difficult in systems characterized by low expression levels and/or high background fluorescence. We present the combination of a photochromic fluorescent protein and stochastic optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) to deliver suppression of the background fluorescence. This strategy makes it possible to resolve lowly or endogenously expressed proteins, as we demonstrate for Gcn5, a histone acetyltransferase required for complete virulence, and Erg11, the target of the azole antifungal agents in the fungal pathogen
