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

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) techniques offer nanometer-scale resolution by stochastically localizing individual fluorescent molecules. Among these, DNA-mediated point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) stands out for its high multiplexing capability and excellent localization accuracy. In this work, we introduce a fast method using left-handed DNA (L-DNA) probes that show a lower background in DNA-PAINT experiments. The use of L-DNA reduces the background originating from unspecific imager and antibody binding. When fluorogenic probes are employed, emission from free binders is quenched, opening access to volumetric DNA-PAINT. Additionally, like fluorogenic right-handed (R-DNA-)PAINT, fluorogenic L-DNA-PAINT allows for lower integration times and faster accumulation of localizations. The binding kinetics, brightness, and localization precision of the fluorogenic R- and L-DNA probes are indistinguishable. Furthermore, fluorogenic left- and right-handed probes do not show cross-reactivity, thus expanding the range of available sequences for reliable multiplexed imaging. Integrating L-DNA-PAINT with a fluorogenic probe design significantly expands the experimental versatility of DNA-PAINT.
