Automated animal gimbal steering for retinal imaging and stimulation.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Here, we propose optomechanical devices for steering anesthetized animals during retinal imaging and/or stimulation with stationary ophthalmoscopes. Simple operating procedures ensure that the entrance pupil of the eye remains centered on the exit pupil of the ophthalmoscope during steering, to avoid vignetting. The devices, built with commercially available manual linear stages and motorized rotating devices, can be used to capture image sequences for tiling, as is often done in microscopy. This automated steering system, demonstrated here in mice, is applicable to other animal species and imaging modalities, as well as explanted eyes. The use of these devices can reduce imaging time and retinal light exposure, both of which are important when using ophthalmoscopes with small fields of view, such as adaptive optics ophthalmoscopes, while also improving animal welfare.
