Picosecond multiphoton scanning near-field optical microscopy.
Article in Biophysical journal, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
We have implemented simultaneous picosecond pulsed two- and three-photon excitation of near-UV and visible absorbing fluorophores in a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM). The 1064-nm emission from a pulsed Nd:YVO4 laser was used to excite the visible mitochondrial specific dye MitoTracker Orange CM-H2TMRos or a Cy3-labeled antibody by two-photon excitation, and the UV absorbing DNA dyes DAPI and the bisbenzimidazole BBI-342 by three-photon excitation, in a shared aperture SNOM using uncoated fiber tips. Both organelles in human breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF 7) and specific protein bands on polytene chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster doubly labeled with a UV and visible dye were readily imaged without photodamage to the specimens. The fluorescence intensities showed the expected nonlinear dependence on the excitation power over the range of 5-40 mW. An analysis of the dependence of fluorescence intensity on the tip-sample displacement normal to the sample surface revealed a higher-order function for the two-photon excitation compared to the one-photon mode. In addition, the sample photobleaching patterns corresponding to one- and two-photon modes revealed a greater lateral confinement of the excitation in the two-photon case. Thus, as in optical microscopy, two-photon excitation in SNOM is confined to a smaller volume.
