Image fusion of IR and optical microscopy for mapping of biomolecules in tissue.
Article in The Analyst, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
It is shown that a pixel-level image fusion technique can produce images that combine the spatial resolution of optical microscopy images of haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissue with the chemical information in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) images. The fused images show minimal distortion and the higher spatial resolution of the H&E images overcomes the diffraction limit on the spatial resolution of the FTIR images. A consideration of the FTIR spectra of nucleic acids and collagen can explain the changes in contrast between non-cancerous oral epithelium and underlying stroma within fused images formed by combining an H&E stain of oral tissue with FTIR images of the tissue obtained at a number of wavenumbers.
