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

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) has been widely used in cell biology to detect biomolecules and their interactions. However, breaking the diffraction limit remains a challenge in FLIM due to the typically required photon counting method and the limited photon output of conventional dyes. Here, we introduce semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) for fluorescence lifetime imaging in expansion microscopy by virtue of their tunable lifetime and huge photon budget. We developed three fluorescent Pdots with average lifetimes ranging from 0.4 to 5 ns by varying the polymer species and compositions. Despite their large spectral overlap, distinctive distributions of the Pdots can be resolved in the lifetime domain. The high fluorescence brightness and large photon output offered by Pdots enable multiplex lifetime imaging in photon-starved expansion microscopy, by which subcellular structures were resolved with a spatial resolution of ∼49 nm. This study reveals the potential of the tunable Pdot probes for lifetime multiplex imaging in expansion microscopy.
