Rapid and efficient optical tissue clearing for volumetric imaging of the intact and injured spinal cord in mice.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Tissue clearing and 3D imaging have emerged as powerful techniques to assess the cellular and tissue-level architecture of the spinal cord. With the rapidly increasing variety and complexity of optical tissue clearing techniques, there is a critical need for optimization and streamlining of tissue-specific protocols, particularly when dealing with injury or disease states. We evaluated and combined multiple organic solvent-based techniques to develop sciDISCO: a spinal cord injury-optimized DISCO tissue clearing protocol. sciDISCO allows for the robust clearing, labeling, and 3D imaging of the intact spinal cord, as well as clearing around and through the lesion site formed after contusive spinal cord injury. In addition, we have identified alternatives for hazardous chemicals commonly used in organic solvent-based clearing including dichloromethane and dibenzyl ether. In this study, we demonstrate the compatibility of sciDISCO with multiple different labeling techniques to provide robust analysis of unique neuronal populations and morphologies in addition to cellular and tissue-level changes occurring following spinal cord injury.
