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

Investigating the interplay of cellular proteins with optical microscopy requires multitarget labeling. Spectral multiplexing using high-affinity or covalent labels is limited in the number of fluorophores that can be discriminated in a single imaging experiment. Advanced microscopy methods such as STED microscopy additionally demand balanced excitation, depletion, and emission wavelengths for all fluorophores, further reducing multiplexing capabilities. Noncovalent, weak-affinity labels bypass this "spectral barrier" through label exchange and sequential imaging of different targets. Here, we combine exchangeable HaloTag ligands, weak-affinity DNA hybridization, and hydrophophic and protein-peptide interactions to increase labeling flexibility and demonstrate six-target STED microscopy in single cells. We further show that exchangeable labels reduce photobleaching as well as facilitate long acquisition times and multicolor live-cell and high-fidelity 3D STED microscopy. The synergy of different types of exchangeable labels increases the multiplexing capabilities in fluorescence microscopy, and by that, the information content of microscopy images.
