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

Research in translational medicine often requires high-resolution characterization techniques to visualize or quantify the fluorescent probes. For example, drug delivery systems contain fluorescent molecules enabling in vitro and in vivo tracing to determine biodistribution or plasma disappearance. Albeit fluorescence imaging systems with sufficient resolution exist, the sample preparation is typically too complex to image a whole organism of the size of a mouse. This article established a mesoscopic imaging technique utilizing a commercially available cryo-microtome and an in-house built episcopic imaging add-on to perform imaging during serial sectioning. Here we demonstrate that our automated red, green, blue (RGB) and fluorescence mesoscope can generate sequential block-face and 3-dimensional anatomical images at variable thickness with high quality of 6 µm × 6 µm pixel size. In addition, this mesoscope features a numerical aperture of 0.10 and a field-of-view of up to 21.6 mm × 27 mm × 25 mm (width, height, depth).
