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

Super-resolution imaging of cell metabolism is hindered by the incompatibility of small metabolites with fluorescent dyes and the limited resolution of imaging mass spectrometry. We present ultrasensitive reweighted visible stimulated Raman scattering (URV-SRS), a label-free vibrational imaging technique for multiplexed nanoscopy of intracellular metabolites. We developed a visible SRS microscope with extensive pulse chirping to improve the detection limit to ~4,000 molecules and introduced a self-supervised multi-agent denoiser to suppress non-independent noise in SRS by over 7.2 dB, resulting in a 50-fold sensitivity enhancement over near-infrared SRS. Leveraging the enhanced sensitivity, we employed Fourier reweighting to amplify sub-100-nm spatial frequencies that were previously overwhelmed by noise. Validated by Fourier ring correlation, we achieved a lateral resolution of 86 nm in cell imaging. We visualized the reprogramming of metabolic nanostructures associated with virus replication in host cells and subcellular fatty acid synthesis in engineered bacteria, demonstrating its capability towards nanoscopic spatial metabolomics.
