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

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a super-resolution imaging technique that bypasses the diffraction limit of conventional optical microscopy (∼250 nm) by enlarging samples with a swellable hydrogel. Combined with various light microscopes, ExM enables an effective resolution ranging from 5 to 70 nm. ExM has now been successfully applied to cell, tissue, and whole-organism samples, providing biologists with a low-cost strategy to visualize samples at the molecular level. However, fluorescence signal loss easily happens for beginners and with early versions of ExM protocols. Here, we describe a protocol called label-retention expansion microscopy (LR-ExM), which can preserve and enhance the signal of ExM imaging via a series of trifunctional probes. These trifunctional probes are antibody-based and easy to prepare, and thus suit the needs of most laboratories. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC. Basic Protocol: LR-ExM using trifunctional probes for enhanced fluorescent signals.
