Building Your Own Neuroscience Equipment: A Precision Micromanipulator and an Epi-fluorescence Microscope for Calcium Imaging.
Article in Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A faculty member's ability to develop meaningful research-oriented laboratories in neurobiology is often hampered by the rapid pace of new technologies and the increasing cost of equipment. To help undergraduate neuroscience faculty meet these challenges, we introduce two important neuroscience research tools we designed and built. The first is a precision micromanipulator for neurophysiology applications costing less than $40 USD. We compare data generated using the DIY manipulator with commercial micromanipulators costing over $1000. The second tool is our newly designed 3D printed epi-fluorescence microscope. Commercial fluorescence imaging devices often cost over $20,000, but our 3D printed version is constructed for less than $1200. This epi-fluorescence microscope uses interchangeable LED light sources and filter sets to image static fluorescence in prepared slides and calcium imaging of neuronal activity in living
