Optimized Whole-Mount Fluorescence Staining Protocol for Pulmonary Toxicity Evaluation Using Mouse Respiratory Epithelia.
Article in Methods and protocols, 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
A straightforward whole-mount approach has been developed that uses fluorescence imaging, mouse trachea, and a range of off-the-shelf reagents for rapidly evaluating substance toxicity within the ciliated respiratory epithelium. Using this protocol, the lumen of control trachea samples displays a typical cobblestone epithelial structure, a high density of ciliated cells, and minimal evidence of cell death, as visualized by phalloidin, acetylated tubulin, and fixable live/dead staining, respectively. In contrast, trachea subjected to treatments that induce injury show disrupted epithelial architecture and increased cell death, indicating substance toxicity. These results support the utility of this protocol for rapidly detecting and quantifying respiratory epithelial toxicity and differential cell-type susceptibility.
