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

The identification of photobleaching steps in single molecule fluorescence imaging is a well-established procedure for analysing the stoichiometries of molecular complexes. Nonetheless, the method is challenging with protein fluorophores because of the high levels of noise, rapid bleaching and highly variable signal intensities, all of which complicate methods based on statistical analyses of intensities to identify bleaching steps. It has recently been shown that deep learning by convolutional neural networks can yield an accurate analysis with a relatively short computational time. We describe here an improved use of such an approach that detects bleaching events even in the first time point of observation, and we have included this within an integrated software package incorporating fluorescence spot detection, colocalisation, tracking, FRET and photobleaching step analyses of single molecules or complexes. This package, known as FluoroTensor, is written in Python with a self-explanatory user interface.
