Rapid clearing and imaging of Mohs and melanoma surgical margins using a low-cost tissue processor.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 clearing methods render biological tissues transparent while maintaining tissue structure, enabling visualization of entire tissues. Recent developments in tissue clearing have predominantly emphasized preserving intrinsic fluorescent proteins or aqueous-based tissue clearing and so typically involve complex procedures and long processing times. The utilization of tissue clearing protocols in standard of care histology settings has been less well explored, and protocols for rapid clearing of human tissue specimens are limited. This study presents a novel rapid clearing protocol and demonstrates a low-cost tissue processor for high volume rapid tissue clearing that can be intergraded into standard histology workflow. We demonstrate rapid clearing in dermatological specimens, including both nonmelanoma and melanoma excisions.
