Global survey of microscopy core facilities.
Article in Journal of microscopy, 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
As part of two open international core facility surveys focused on microscopy and flow cytometry, we obtained an in-depth snapshot of their state-of-play. Here we focus on microscopy cores across 'the Americas', 'Asia Pacific' and 'Europe and Africa' with responses from 241 facilities. We compared instrument types and numbers, staffing, user fees, funding, etc. This revealed both remarkable similarities and notable differences. For example, the staff/instrument ratio in Europe and Africa was smaller compared to other regions World View and Asia Pacific had a larger proportion of electron microscopes. Importantly, we want to emphasise that the anonymised raw data is made available for anyone to do their own further mining and analysis, including cross-correlations and constrained groupings. This survey will serve as an essential baseline for future longitudinal studies following trends across all metrics as our facilities evolve.
