Dataset of aquatic insects acquired using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and the NanoSuit method.
Article in Scientific data, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A simple surface modification, called NanoSuit, by electron beam or by plasma irradiation can form a nanoscale layer, allowing to keep small animals alive and hydrous under the high vacuum required for field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). We previously applied NanoSuit to aquatic insects, Dixa longistyla larvae (Diptera: Dixidae), which always lie on their ventral surface just under the water surface. We found that the crown-like structures on the ventral side of the hind segments enable the larvae to reside in such ecological niche. Moreover, fine structures in the crown protected with NanoSuit appeared intact, unlike those subjected to conventional sample fixation. However, a fundamental understanding of these structures (living and/or not treated with conventional fixation) interacting directly with water should be established using FE-SEM. This data descriptor introduces a rich dataset of images acquired using NanoSuit for various aquatic insects. The image data can be accessed and viewed through Figshare.
