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 technology of volume electron microscopy (vEM), which enables three-dimensional (3D) observation of organelles, cells and even tissues at the nanoscale, is advancing and being applied to various fields of life science. As the demand for vEM grows, there is an increasing need for Volume Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (Volume CLEM) to capture targets without missing the region of interest (ROI) or to observe the localization of molecules (often proteins) at the exact location of the fluorescent signals. This mini review provides an overview of the current state of Volume CLEM and introduces several unique approaches. My aim is to share the diverse fundamental technologies and broad application scope of this technique. vEM provides nanoscale imaging for life science applications. CLEM, is very powerful for linking molecular localization to ultrastructure. This mini review outlines advances, distinctive approaches and its broad technological and application scope.
