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

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) has redefined optical imaging by enabling imaging beyond the diffraction limit, allowing for nanoscale investigation into cellular architecture and molecular dynamics. Light sheet illumination enhances SMLM through optical sectioning of the sample, which drastically improves the signal-to-background ratio and reduces photobleaching and photodamage. Lattice light sheet (LLS) microscopy, in which a 2D optical lattice is implemented for light sheet illumination, can provide exceptional sectioning and extended imaging depth when imaging in scattering samples. However, its conventional dual-objective design poses challenges for certain applications. Here, we present an imaging platform that implements LLS illumination with a reflective single-objective geometry (soLLS) inside a microfluidic chip, enabling the use of a single high numerical aperture objective for both illumination and detection, mitigating constraints of a dual-objective setup. We provide a quantitative characterization of the propagation properties of the soLLS and demonstrate that it outperforms conventional Gaussian light sheets in terms of useful field of view and sectioning when propagating through scattering samples. Next, by combining soLLS with point spread function engineering, we demonstrate the platform for improved 3D single-molecule super-resolution imaging of multiple targets across multiple cells. The soLLS imaging platform thus expands investigations of nanoscale cellular and intercellular structures and mechanisms into more challenging samples for a wide range of applications in biology and biomedicine.
