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

Super-resolution microscopy has pushed the limits of biological imaging. However, achieving isotropic resolution across all spatial dimensions remains a challenge and often requires a complex and highly sensitive optical setup. Herein, we introduce axial interference speckle illumination-engineered structured illumination microscopy (AXIS-SIM), a minimal-modification approach that utilizes constructive interference from a simple back-reflecting mirror to enhance the axial resolution without additional phase control or complex beam shaping. AXIS-SIM provides superior optical sectioning and improves axial resolution beyond the typical axial resolution of conventional 3D-structured illumination microscopy (~300 nm), achieving lateral and axial resolutions of 108.5 and 140.1 nm, respectively. Furthermore, its robustness against alignment errors and sample-induced aberrations enables high-throughput 3D super-resolution imaging of diverse biological specimens. We demonstrate its potential by visualizing the 3D morphology of cell membranes, resolving the nanoscale distribution of lysosomes and microtubules and tracking lysosomal movements with enhanced axial clarity.
