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 superresolution technique for fixed specimens that improves resolution of a given microscopy system approximately fourfold. The gain in resolution in ExM is not achieved by improvement of the resolution of the microscope itself but by isotropic expansion of the sample. To achieve this, the sample is cross-linked to an expandable gel matrix that swells approximately fourfold by incubation in water. We have applied the method to Dictyostelium amoebae and discuss the pros and cons of different labeling techniques in combination with pre- and post-expansion staining protocols.
