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

The most ubiquitous form of aberration correction for microscopy is deconvolution; however, deconvolution relies on the assumption that the system's point spread function is the same across the entire field of view. This assumption is often inadequate, but space-variant deblurring techniques generally require impractical amounts of calibration and computation. We present an imaging pipeline that leverages symmetry to provide simple and fast spatially varying deblurring. Our ring deconvolution microscopy method utilizes the rotational symmetry of most microscopes and cameras, and naturally extends to sheet deconvolution in the case of lateral symmetry. We derive theory and algorithms for ring deconvolution microscopy and propose a neural network based on Seidel aberration coefficients as a fast alternative. We demonstrate improvements in speed and image quality as compared to standard deconvolution and existing spatially varying deblurring across a diverse range of microscope modalities, including miniature microscopy, multicolor fluorescence microscopy, multimode fiber micro-endoscopy and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy. Our approach enables near-isotropic, subcellular resolution in each of these applications.
