Confocal-Compatible Workflow for Sectioning, Staining, and Imaging Serial Vibratome Sections for 3D Anatomical Reconstruction of the Lymph Node.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
3D anatomical reconstruction provides quantitative insight into tissue architecture, variability, and function. However, existing whole-organ imaging methods, such as light-sheet microscopy and micro-CT, are often costly, slow, and inaccessible for many laboratories. We present an accessible, confocal-compatible workflow for harvesting, sectioning, and staining murine lymph nodes for high-fidelity 3D reconstruction. The protocol preserves Z-plane resolution through vibratome sectioning and immunostaining, enabling detailed visualization of lymph node lobules and vasculature using standard confocal microscopes. The resulting image stacks can be used for quantitative morphometry and spatiotemporal pharmacokinetic modeling. This reproducible workflow expands access to spatial and structural studies of the lymph node and can be adapted to other small, heterogeneous organs.
