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

We present a tunable microfabrication pipeline for creating robust, reflective inserts that adapt conventional commercial imaging chambers for single-objective light sheet (LS) illumination. This system reduces the complexity associated with dual-objective LS setups and specialized LS chambers while retaining the native functionality and biocompatibility of the original chambers. The fabricated insert features a metalized, 3D nanoprinted micromirror with an angled reflective surface, enabling alignment of a thin LS for sectioning and imaging throughout mammalian cells. Using this pipeline, we demonstrate that single-objective LS illumination achieves an over 4X improvement in the signal-to-background ratio compared with conventional widefield epi-illumination in both fixed and live cell samples. Furthermore, we show substantial resolution enhancement for single-molecule localization microscopy compared to epi-illumination for improved imaging at the nanoscale. The versatile and scalable design offers an easily implemented approach to bring the benefits of single-objective LS microscopy to a wide array of biological studies.
