Methods for dynamic and whole volume imaging of the zebrafish heart.
Article in Developmental biology, 2023. 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
Tissue development and regeneration are dynamic processes involving complex cell migration and cell-cell interactions. We have developed a protocol for complementary time-lapse and three-dimensional (3D) imaging of tissue for developmental and regeneration studies which we apply here to the zebrafish cardiac vasculature. 3D imaging of fixed specimens is used to first define the subject at high resolution then live imaging captures how it changes dynamically. Hearts from adult and juvenile zebrafish are extracted and cleaned in preparation for the different imaging modalities. For whole-mount 3D confocal imaging, single or multiple hearts with native fluorescence or immuno-labeling are prepared for stabilization or clearing, and then imaged. For live imaging, hearts are placed in a prefabricated fluidic device and set on a temperature-controlled microscope for culture and imaging over several days. This protocol allows complete visualization of morphogenic processes in a 3D context and provides the ability to follow cell behaviors to complement in vivo and fixed tissue studies. This culture and imaging protocol can be applied to different cell and tissue types. Here, we have used it to observe zebrafish coronary vasculature and the migration of coronary endothelial cells during heart regeneration.
