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 suite of techniques encompassing optical super-resolution microscopy can facilitate detailed visualization of biological structures and biochemical transformations at unprecedented levels of resolution and contrast; however, they depend on imaging probes with specific biophysical and photophysical properties. In this context, metal complexes with tuneable photo-excited states and stability towards photobleaching are promising candidates for advanced imaging techniques. This Review illustrates how, by selecting appropriate optical properties and luminescence responses, metal complexes can be utilized as probes for a range of super-resolution microscopy techniques, including multimodal imaging, to study subcellular architecture and dynamics with nanoscale resolution. Limitations and challenges of the existing molecular probes are also discussed. By highlighting these recent innovations and providing suggestions for future directions, this Review further underscores the importance of optical probes in pushing the boundaries of super-resolution microscopy and advancing our understanding of complex biological systems.
