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

Superresolution microscopy determines the localization of fluorescent proteins with high precision, beyond the diffraction limit of light. Superresolution microscopic techniques include photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM), which can localize a single protein by the stochastic activation of its fluorescence. In the determination of single-molecule localization by PALM, the number of molecules that can be analyzed per image is limited. Thus, many images are required to reconstruct the localization of numerous molecules in the cell. However, most fluorescent proteins lose their fluorescence upon fixation. Here, we combined the amino acid substitutions of two Eos protein derivatives, Skylan-S and mEos4b, which are a green reversibly photoswitchable fluorescent protein (RSFP) and a fixation-resistant green-to-red photoconvertible fluorescent protein, respectively, resulting in the
