From bench to bedside: A review of the application and potential of microcirculatory assessment by hand-held videomicroscopy.
Review in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In clinical practice, there is vast knowledge regarding the evaluation of macrocirculatory parameters, such as systemic blood pressure and cardiac output, for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients. However, assessment of the microcirculation has not yet been incorporated into the bedside armamentarium. Hand-held intravital video microscopy enables the direct, noninvasive, evaluation of the sublingual microcirculation at the bedside, offering insights into the status of the systemic microcirculation. It is easily performed and may be employed in several clinical settings, providing immediate results that may help guide patient management. Therefore, the incorporation of hand-held intravital video microscopy into clinical practice may lead to tremendous improvements in the quality of care of critical, unstable patients or offer new data in the evaluation of patients with chronic diseases, especially those with microcirculatory involvement, such as occurs in diabetes.
