Fabrication and validation of an LED array microscope for multimodal, quantitative imaging.
Article in HardwareX, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 combination of multiple imaging modalities in a single microscopy system can enable new insights into biological processes. In this work, we describe the construction and rigorous characterization of a custom microscope with multimodal imaging in a single, cost-effective system. Our design utilizes advances in LED technology, robotics, and open-source software, along with existing optical components and precision optomechanical parts to offer a modular and versatile design. This microscope is operated using software written in Arduino and Python and has the ability to run multi-day automated imaging experiments when placed inside of a cell culture incubator. Additionally, we provide and demonstrate methods to validate images taken in brightfield and darkfield, along with validation and optimization for differential phase contrast (DPC) quantitative phase imaging.
