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

Dysregulated lipid metabolism plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. However, due to the lack of effective solutions, the dynamic monitoring and deep understanding of lipid metabolism in those disease progression has remained challenging. Herein, a polarity-sensitive, lipid droplets (LDs)-targeted probe was developed for spatiotemporal super-resolution imaging of lipid metabolism dynamics. Based on the stimulated emission depletion (STED) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) platform, we achieved the super-resolution visualization and dynamic tracking of the nonlinear fusion and expansion mechanisms of LDs in orthotopic pathology models-an unprecedented achievement in the field. We also analyzed lipid distribution in zebrafish models using the STED-FLIM platform to capture lipid metabolism at the organismal level. Crucially, based on the integrated STED-FLIM platform, this probe accurately monitors lipid metabolism in cellular and pathological tissue contexts of atherosclerosis and fatty liver. This breakthrough provides novel insights for diagnosing lipid metabolism-related diseases and advancing therapeutic development.
