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

objectiveStudying zebrafish embryos' growth through imaging them in their natural growth environment may reveal what has not been possible through the current imaging technique which uses mechanically-confining and nutrient-limiting gel, like agarose. This paper presents, for the first time, the imaging of live zebrafish embryos in their natural environment over 20 hours through acoustic tweezers capable of contactless trapping and precise manipulation via trapping without standing waves. The tweezers is shown to trap and hold a zebrafish embryo in its growth medium from 17 hours post fertilization (hpf) to 37 hpf under a Light-Sheet microscope for imaging. The continuous trapping and imaging reveal organ development, such as the tail, eyes, ears, and pigmentation. The method is safe, as evidenced by natural development, heartbeats, and tail movement.
