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

Imaging chromatin organization at the molecular-scale resolution remains an important endeavor in basic and translational research. Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) is a powerful superresolution imaging technique to visualize nanoscale molecular organization down to the resolution of ~20 to 30 nm. Despite the substantial progress in imaging chromatin organization in cells and model systems, its routine application on assessing pathological tissue remains limited. It is, in part, hampered by the lack of simple labels that consistently generates high-quality STORM images on the highly processed clinical tissue. We developed a fast, simple, and robust small-molecule fluorescent probe-cyanine 5-conjugated Hoechst-for routine superresolution imaging of nanoscale nuclear architecture on clinical tissue. We demonstrated the biological and clinical significance of imaging superresolved chromatin structure in cancer development and its potential clinical utility for cancer risk stratification.
