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
Materials and Methods: Pretreated with phosphomolybdic acid sections of human myocardium (n=9) were stained with 1% aqueous trypan blue solution (Panreac, Spain) (patent application RU 2024/22564). Parallel sections were stained using the similar technique with 2% aqueous solution of aniline blue (Unisource Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., India). The obtained preparations were analyzed using a light microscope Leica DM750 (Leica, Germany) and a confocal laser microscope LSM800 (Carl Zeiss AG, Germany). Threedimensional reconstruction was performed using software ZEN-2012 (Carl Zeiss AG, Germany). Results: Trypan blue appeared to stain collagen fibers selectively. Loose thick fibers were stained more intensively than thin fibers, which were not available for detailed examination with bright-field microscopy. The cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes remained unstained. Aniline blue appeared to stain thin fibers relatively more intensively, and its non-specifically stained the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes.Fluorescence of collagen fibers stained with trypan blue was excited with a 640 nm laser. Autofluorescence of the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes was excited with a 488 nm laser. Three-dimensional reconstruction of endomysium showed that it was a net. Therefore, it became possible to describe the lower-order structures being the part of thick fibers. Three-dimensional reconstruction enabled to distinguish the orientation of the fibers and their cross section differentiating it from tangential one. Conclusion: The study findings showed trypan blue staining of human cardiac section to be an effective method to reveal collagen fibers, study their structure with bright-field microscopy using confocal laser microscopy and perform detailed three-dimensional reconstructions. The advantages of the method compared with other techniques of three-dimensional imaging of collagen fibers consist in the accessibility of reagents, high staining selectivity of the connective tissue matrix, the ability to obtain contrast and detailed images of the studied objects with high resolution.
