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

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy has revolutionized biology by visualizing dynamic cellular processes in three dimensions. However, light scattering in thick tissue and photobleaching of fluorescent reporters limit this method to studying thin or translucent specimens. In this study, we applied nondiffractive ultrasound beams in conjunction with a cross-amplitude modulation sequence and nonlinear acoustic reporters to enable fast and volumetric imaging of targeted biological functions. We reported volumetric imaging of tumor gene expression at the cubic centimeter scale using genetically encoded gas vesicles and localization microscopy of cerebral capillary networks using intravascular microbubble contrast agents. Nonlinear sound-sheet microscopy provides a ~64× acceleration in imaging speed, ~35× increase in imaged volume, and ~4× increase in classical imaging resolution compared with the state of the art in biomolecular ultrasound.
