1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Optical clearing combined with light-sheet microscopy enables high-resolution imaging of extended tissue at scale. However, standard mesoSPIM systems are optimised for intact organs and are not suited to thin tissue slices. We present an oblique compensation scanning method using obliquely mounted samples held between refractive-index-matched slides in a 3D-printed frame. This enables mechanical de-skewing during acquisition, minimising post-processing requirements. We demonstrate feasibility in fluorescent bead phantoms and rabbit heart tissue, achieving a 4.8 × reduction in processing time and a 1.5 × improvement in axial resolution ((13.15±1.36) μm to (8.72±1.80) μm) compared to conventional
