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

Resolving biochemical signatures associated with viral infection progression within individual living cells, without introducing fluorescent labels that demand genetic accessibility and may perturb the process under study, remains a challenge for conventional optical approaches. Optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy addresses this by providing label-free vibrational contrast with molecular bond specificity in live cells, combining submicron spatial resolution with strong suppression of the water background in aqueous media. Here, OPTIR discrete wavenumber imaging and point spectroscopy were applied to follow baculovirus infection in live Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf) 9 cells carrying no fluorescent reporter. Cells were measured within a CaF₂ sandwich configuration at 3, 6, 12, and 24 h post-infection. Imaging at the amide II protein band (1545 cm⁻
