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

Wide-field (WF) imaging is pivotal for observing dynamic biological events. While WF chemical microscopy offers high molecular specificity, it lacks the sensitivity for single-molecule detection. In contrast, WF fluorescence microscopy provides live-cell dynamic mapping but fails to leverage the rich chemical information necessary for functional interpretations. To address these limitations, we introduce Wide-Field Bond-selective Fluorescence-detected Infrared-Excited (WF-BonFIRE) spectro-microscopy. This technique combines rationally optimized imaging speed and field-of-view (FOV) to achieve single-molecule sensitivity with bond-selective contrast. We demonstrate WF-BonFIRE's capabilities in imaging single molecules, cells, astrocytes, and live neurons, capturing single FOVs up to 50 μm × 50 μm, with further expansion via multi-FOV mosaicking. Additionally, we have implemented a new temporal-delay modulation scheme that allows real-time kilohertz WF-BonFIRE imaging with speeds up to 1500 Hz. We showcase the millisecond temporal resolution through monitoring the random motion of live Escherichia coli. Leveraging its ability to distinguish molecules through distinct narrow-band BonFIRE signals, we further demonstrate multicolor real-time
