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

Narrow bandwidth, high brightness, and spectral tunability are the unique properties of lasers that make them extremely desirable for fluorescence imaging applications. However, due to the high spatial coherence, conventional lasers are often incompatible for wide-field fluorescence imaging. The presence of parasitic artefacts under coherent illumination causes uneven excitation of fluorophores, which has a critical impact on the reliability, resolution, and efficiency of fluorescence imaging. Here, we demonstrate artefact-free wide-field fluorescence imaging with a bright and low threshold silver nanorod based plasmonic random laser, offering the capability to image finer cellular features with sub-micrometer resolution even in highly diffusive biological samples. A spatial resolution of 454 nm and up to 23% enhancement in the image contrast in comparison to conventional laser illumination are attained. Based on the results presented in this paper, random lasers, with their laser-like properties and spatial incoherence are envisioned to be the next-generation sources for developing highly efficient wide-field fluorescence imaging systems having high spatial and temporal resolution for real-time,
