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

We present a single-capture multimodal bright-field (BF) and quantitative phase imaging (QPI) approach that enables the analysis of large, connected, or extended samples, such as confluent cell layers or tissue sections. The proposed imaging concept integrates a fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer-based off-axis digital holographic microscopy (DHM) with an inverted commercial optical BF microscope. Utilizing 8-bit grayscale dynamic range multiplexing, we simultaneously capture both BF images and digital holograms, which are then demultiplexed numerically via Fourier filtering, phase aberration compensation, and weighted image subtraction procedures. Compared to previous BF-DHM systems, our system avoids synchronization challenges caused by multiple image recording devices, improves acquisition speed, and enhances versatility for fast imaging of large, connected, and rapidly moving samples. Initially, we perform a systematic characterization of the system's multimodal imaging performance by optimizing numerical as well as coherent and incoherent illumination parameters. Subsequently, the application capabilities are evaluated by multimodal imaging of living cells. The results highlight the potential of single-capture BF-DHM for fast biomedical imaging.
