EuniceScope: Low-Cost Imaging Platform for Studying Microgravity Cell Biology.
Article in IEEE open journal of engineering in medicine and biology, 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
Microgravity is proven to impact a wide range of human physiology, from stimulating stem cell differentiation to confounding cell health in bones, skeletal muscles, and blood cells. The research in this arena is progressively intensified by the increasing promises of human spaceflights. Considering the limited access to spaceflight, ground-based microgravity-simulating platforms have been indispensable for microgravity-biology research. However, they are generally complex, costly, hard to replicate and reconfigure - hampering the broad adoption of microgravity biology and astrobiology. To address these limitations, we developed a low-cost reconfigurable 3D-printed microscope coined EuniceScope to allow the democratization of astrobiology, especially for educational use. EuniceScope is a compact 2D clinostat system integrated with a modularized brightfield microscope, built upon 3D-printed toolbox. We demonstrated that this compact system offers plausible imaging quality and microgravity-simulating performance. Its high degree of reconfigurability thus holds great promise in the wide dissemination of microgravity-cell-biology research in the broader community, including Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational and scientific community in the future.
