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 biological imaging, there is a demand for cost-effective, high-resolution techniques to study dynamic intracellular processes. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is ideal for achieving high axial and lateral resolution in live samples due to its optical sectioning and low phototoxicity. However, conventional SIM systems remain expensive and complex. We introduce openSIMMO, an open-source, fully-automated SIM module compatible with commercial microscopes, supporting dual-color excitation. Our design uses affordable single-mode fiber-coupled lasers and a digital micromirror device (DMD), integrated with the open-source ImSwitch software for real-time super-resolution imaging. This setup offers up to 1.55-fold improvement in lateral resolution over wide-field microscopy. To optimize DMD diffraction, we developed a model for tilt and roll pixel configurations, enabling use with various low-cost projectors in SIM setups. Our goal is to democratize SIM-based super-resolution microscopy by providing open-source documentation and a flexible software framework adaptable to various hardware (e.g., cameras, stages) and reconstruction algorithms, enabling more widespread super-resolution upgrades across devices.
