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

Light sheet microscopy combined with a microchip is an emerging tool in biomedical research that notably improves efficiency. However, microchip-enhanced light-sheet microscopy is limited by noticeable aberrations induced by the complex refractive indices in the chip. Herein, we report a droplet microchip that is specifically engineered to be capable of large-scale culture of 3D spheroids (over 600 samples per chip) and has a polymer index matched to water (difference <1%). When combined with a lab-built open-top light-sheet microscope, this microchip-enhanced microscopy technique allows 3D time-lapse imaging of the cultivated spheroids with ∼2.5-µm single-cell resolution and a high throughput of ∼120 spheroids per minute. This technique was validated by a comparative study on the proliferation and apoptosis rates of hundreds of spheroids with or without treatment with the apoptosis-inducing drug Staurosporine.
