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 light microscopy techniques facilitate the observation of nm-sized biomolecules, which are 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller than the diffraction limit of light. Using super-resolution microscopy techniques, it is possible to observe fluorescence from two biomolecules in close proximity; however, not necessarily in direct interaction. Using FRETsael, we localize biomolecular interactions exhibiting FRET with nanometer accuracy, from two-color fluorescence lifetime imaging data. The concepts of FRETsael were tested first against simulations, in which the recovered localization accuracy is 20-30 nm for true-positive detections of FRET pairs. Further analysis of the simulation results reports the conditions in which true-positive rates are maximal. We then show the capabilities of FRETsael on simulated samples of actin-vinculin and ER-ribosome interactions, as well as experimental samples of actin-myosin two-color confocal imaging. Overall, the FRETsael approach paves the way toward studying biomolecular interactions with improved spatial resolution from laser scanning confocal two-color fluorescence lifetime imaging.
