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

Light-sheet microscopy is ideal for imaging large and cleared tissues, but achieving a high isotropic resolution for a centimeter-sized sample is limited by slow and often aberrated, axially scanned light sheets. Here, we introduce a compact, high-speed light-sheet fluorescence microscope achieving 850 nm isotropic resolution across cleared samples up to 1 cm³ and refractive indices ranging from 1.33 to 1.56. Using off-the-shelf optics, we combine an air objective and a meniscus lens with an axially swept light sheet to achieve diffraction-limited resolution and aberration correction. The effective field of view is increased by twofold by correcting the field curvature of the light sheet using a concave mirror in the remote focusing unit. Adapting the light sheet's motion with a closed-loop feedback enhances the imaging speed by tenfold, reaching 100 frames per second while maintaining resolution and field of view. We benchmark the system performance across scales, from subcellular structure up to centimeter scale, using various clearing methods.
