Para-uterine imaging protocol: Stabilizing living mouse embryos within the maternal abdomen for in vivo imaging and visually guided physiology.
Article in STAR protocols, 2026. 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 vivo imaging is critical for interrogating brain circuits but is limited before birth. Here, we describe a protocol for para-uterine stabilization of living mouse embryos, enabling recordings from individual neurons and neuronal processes. We describe steps to extract embryos from the amniotic sac, place them into externally stabilized holders, expose their brains, and then transfer them for imaging, all while keeping the umbilical cords intact. Through this method, para-uterine imaging enables tools from adult head-fixed mice to generalize to embryos. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Munz et al.
