iCAT as an open-source platform for axial rotation and high-resolution imaging of organoids and living organisms.
Article in Communications 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
In dynamic light microscopy applications, imaging specimens from multiple angles while maintaining controlled temperature conditions is crucial for comprehensive and accurate analysis. To address these challenges, we present iCAT, an open-source multifunctional accessory designed to enhance light microscopy. It enables specimen rotation along the axial plane, incorporates built-in modules for precise temperature control, features an integrated LED, and includes a camera for real-time specimen monitoring. It can be easily 3D-printed and assembled using readily available electrical components. Combined with any up-right microscope, this versatile device allows researchers to capture detailed images and videos of organoid cultures and live or fixed specimens, such as C. elegans, zebrafish, drosophila, or mouse embryos. The potential applications of iCAT in investigating dynamic cellular processes and complex developmental phenomena are vast, inspiring researchers to explore its possibilities and push the boundaries of biological research.
