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

Single molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM) can provide two-dimensional super-resolved image data from conventional fluorescence microscopes, while three dimensional (3D) SMLM usually involves a modification of the microscope, for example, to engineer a predictable axial variation in the point spread function. Here we demonstrate a 3D SMLM approach (we call 'easyZloc') utilising a lightweight Convolutional Neural Network that is generally applicable, including with 'standard' (unmodified) fluorescence microscopes, and which we consider may be practically useful in a high throughput SMLM workflow. We demonstrate the reconstruction of nuclear pore complexes with comparable performance to previously reported methods but with a significant reduction in computational power and execution time. 3D reconstructions of the nuclear envelope and an actin sample over a larger axial range are also shown.
