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 based on the localization of single emitters requires a spatio-temporal control of the ON and OFF states. To this end, photoactivatable fluorophores are adapted as they can be turned on upon light irradiation. Here, we present a concept called self-triggered photooxidation cascade (STPC) based on the photooxidation of a plasma membrane-targeted leuco-rhodamine (LRhod-PM), a non-fluorescent reduced form of a rhodamine probe. Upon visible light irradiation the small number of oxidized rhodamines, Rhod-PM, acts as a photosensitizer to generate singlet oxygen capable of oxidizing the OFF state LRhod-PM thereby switching it to its ON state. We showed that this phenomenon is kinetically favored by a high local concentration and propagates quickly when the probe is embedded in membrane bilayers. In addition, we showed that the close proximity of the dyes favors the photobleaching. At the single-molecule level, the concomitant activation/bleaching phenomena allow reaching a single-molecule blinking regime enabling single-molecule localization microscopy for super-resolution of live cellular membranes and their thin processes including filopodia and tuneling nanotubes.
