Autofluorescence Label-Free Imaging of the Liver Reticular Structure.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Autofluorescence rising from biological substrates under proper excitation light depends on the presence of specific endogenous fluorophores and can provide information on the morpho-functional properties in which they are strictly involved. Besides the numerous endogenous fluorophores involved in metabolic functions, fibrous proteins may act as direct, label-free biomarkers of the tissue structural organization. The optical properties of collagen, in particular, are currently applied as an alternative to established histochemical procedures to investigate the connective tissue as well as its changes in diseased conditions. This is particularly true in hepatology where the histochemical procedures to label the reticular structure are not routinely applied, as they are complex and time-consuming. The morphology of the liver reticular structure and its changes are up to now poorly considered despite the increasing awareness of the regulatory role played by the remodeling of the reticular structure in pathological conditions. In this context, the autofluorescence label-free imaging has proven to be a suitable approach.
