The chlorophyll fluoroscope, a device to observe the in vivo emission of chlorophyll fluorescence for teaching and demonstration purposes.
Article in Photosynthesis research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 vivo chlorophyll fluorescence has long been known to be intimately related to photosynthesis, being the basis of widespread and sophisticated instrumentation. Although easily observed in plant extracts or using epifluorescence or confocal microscopes, chlorophyll fluorescence is seldom observed in macroscopic samples, such as plant leaves of macroalgae thalli. This work presents a 'chlorophyll fluoroscope', a device that allows the direct observation of the fluorescence emitted in vivo by large samples. The chlorophyll fluoroscope is easy to construct and operate, comprising inexpensive 3D-printed parts and off-the-shelve components. It is primarily intended for use in teaching and science demonstration events while having the potential to interest those who are aware of chlorophyll fluorescence yet often have never observed the phenomenon.
