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 mesoscope has emerged as a powerful imaging tool in biomedical research, yet its high cost and low resolution have limited its broader application. Here, we introduce the Omni-Mesoscope, a high-spatial-temporal and multimodal mesoscopic imaging platform built from cost-efficient off-the-shelf components. This system uniquely merges the capabilities of label-free quantitative phase microscopy to capture live-cell morphodynamics across thousands of cells with highly multiplexed fluorescence imaging for comprehensive molecular characterization. This Omni-Mesoscope offers a mesoscale field of view of ~5 square millimeters with a high spatial resolution down to 700 nanometers, enabling the capture of detailed subcellular features. We demonstrate its capability in delineating molecular characteristics underlying rare morphodynamic cellular phenomena, including cancer cell responses to chemotherapy and the emergence of polyploidy in drug-resistant cells. We also integrate expansion technique to enhance three-dimensional volumetric super-resolution imaging of thicker tissues, opening the avenues for biological exploration at unprecedented scales and resolutions.
