A two-photon fluorescence micro-spectroscopy method for chemotaxonomic characterization of fossil resins.

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
Premise: Amber, a fossilized chemical defensive exudate, is important for understanding ancient plant-insect/pathogen interactions, yet its botanical origins, especially for Cretaceous amber, remain enigmatic. Here, we develop and apply a fluorescence micro-spectroscopy approach within the context of a larger study on the provenance of amber. Methods: Emission spectra were collected from 21 amber, copal, and Defaunation resin samples at six excitation wavelengths. The emission spectra at all excitation wavelengths were deconvolved using simultaneous fitting, with each emission spectrum modeled as a linear combination of four Gaussian components. Results: Differences between Gaussian means separated the samples into five groups. Cross-referencing these groupings with prior studies on their botanical origins indicate that they corresponded broadly to ambers from well-defined conifer families, including the Araucariaceae (group 1 associated with Discussion: Fluorescence micro-spectroscopy is a useful approach for characterizing fossil resin in a reproducible and nondestructive manner. Variations in the fluorescence properties of resins do not correspond to variations in age or maturity but rather to plant origin. Therefore, this approach provides an additional line of evidence for inferring the botanical origins of amber.
