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

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) enables non-invasive measurement of cellular metabolism with single-cell and subcellular resolution, providing advantages over traditional population-level metabolic assays. However, current single-cell FLIM analysis workflows typically rely on multiple software tools for lifetime extraction, segmentation, and downstream analysis, often resulting in convoluted workflows and a disconnect between quantitative measurements and image context, limiting transparent quality control. Here, we present FLIMExplorer, an interactive, Python-based tool for downstream single-cell FLIM analysis and visualization. FLIMExplorer links quantitative FLIM endpoints and their underlying image objects, enabling users to explore key FLIM features (NAD(P)H and FAD:
