Whole-mount imaging of the mouse hindlimb vasculature using the lipophilic carbocyanine dye DiI.
Article in BioTechniques, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The availability of transgenic disease backgrounds and the accessibility of molecular research reagents have contributed to make the mouse ischemic hindlimb the model of choice for many studies of angiogenesis, and to investigate new treatments for peripheral artery disease. A limitation of these models involves our inability to easily visualize the regenerated vascular architecture. Approaches such as micro-computed tomography and micro-angiography are expensive, technically demanding and not available to many laboratories. Here we describe a rapid and inexpensive adaptation of a vascular staining procedure for precise imaging of the mouse hindlimb vasculature. We introduced two technical modifications and an analytical extension to the original method including (i) pre-skinning of the muscle prior to fixation that preserves tissue integrity, (ii) mild pressure-desiccation subsequent to fixing that enhances resolution and image penetration, and (iii) reconstruction of confocal data into 3D images. The procedure provides resolution that is equivalent or superior to other approaches at a fraction of the cost, time and technology required.
