Biofilm Analysis by Confocal Microscopy-Basics and Practical Aspects.
Review in Microscopy research and technique, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
This review is intended as a guideline for beginners in confocal laser scanning microscopy. It combines basic theoretical concepts, such as fluorescence principles, resolution limits, and imaging parameters with practical guidance on sample preparation, staining strategies, and data acquisition using confocal microscopy. The aim is to combine technical and methodological aspects in order to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction. The main application is in microbiology, with a focus on biofilms and bio-aggregates; although other researchers in biology may benefit from this survey. In this primer, we compiled 25 years of experience with confocal microscopy, four generations of instruments, diverse national and international projects, and many different samples of PhD students, PostDocs, and senior scientists from various countries.
