MicroMagnify: a multiplexed expansion microscopy method for pathogens and infected tissues.
Article in Research square, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Super-resolution optical imaging tools are crucial in microbiology to understand the complex structures and behavior of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. However, the capabilities of these tools, particularly when it comes to imaging pathogens and infected tissues, remain limited. We developed µMagnify, a nanoscale multiplexed imaging method for pathogens and infected tissues that are derived from an expansion microscopy technique with a universal biomolecular anchor. We formulated an enzyme cocktail specifically designed for robust cell wall digestion and expansion of microbial cells without distortion while efficiently retaining biomolecules suitable for high-plex fluorescence imaging with nanoscale precision. Additionally, we developed an associated virtual reality tool to facilitate the visualization and navigation of complex three-dimensional images generated by this method in an immersive environment allowing collaborative exploration among researchers around the world. µMagnify is a valuable imaging platform for studying how microbes interact with their host systems and enables development of new diagnosis strategies against infectious diseases.
