Impact of uniform illumination in widefield microscopy and mesoscopy.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Illumination uniformity is critical for widefield optical microscopy, especially for high-throughput and accurate quantitative imaging of biological specimens. While traditional Köhler illumination improves uniformity, it often fails to deliver homogeneous intensity across large fields of view. Existing optical and computational correction techniques remain inadequate for a broad range of quantitative imaging applications. Here, we implement a novel illumination device that we call the "effective uniform color-light integration device" (EUCLID), quantifying improvements in two widefield imaging modalities that require uniform illumination. For both imaging modalities, we demonstrate significantly improved precision of quantitative measurements compared to traditional Köhler illumination. The EUCLID device, which can also provide uniform spectral mixing, can be readily adapted to many other widefield imaging modalities to enhance imaging accuracy and reliability, with low cost and ease of implementation.
