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) enables nanoscale imaging but remains limited in three-dimensional (3D), high-speed, and high-density applications due to background fluorescence, photon inefficiency, and large point-spread function (PSF) footprints. Here, we present single-objective light-sheet microscopy with PSF-engineering enhanced biplane detection (SoLiD-3D), a versatile imaging platform that integrates dual-wavelength light-sheet illumination with dual-color, multi-configuration biplane imaging for parallel acquisition with PSF engineered detection for high-speed volumetric SMLM. Parallelized single-objective light-sheet excitation combined with PSF engineering overcomes key limitations of conventional wide-field and biplane approaches. Independent control of two excitation wavelengths for optical sectioning enables simultaneous dual-target imaging and single-target dual-color imaging with improved contrast and temporal resolution utilizing dynamically displaced light sheets for volumetric coverage. Using SoLiD-3D, we demonstrate high-speed single- and dual-target dual-color imaging that doubles localization density without sacrificing photon efficiency and continuous volumetric imaging via PSF-engineering enhanced biplane detection for whole-cell 3D imaging with improved axial localization performance over extended depth ranges. We further demonstrate improved speed by utilizing the Hummus PSF, a compact engineered PSF that enables high-precision 3D localization with a substantially reduced spatial footprint, for the first time for super-resolution imaging applications. Taken together, SoLiD-3D mitigates the trade-off between axial range and localization precision and offers improved speed compared to conventional 3D SMLM approaches.
