X-ray fluorescence microscopy exposure estimates using a single excitation energy.
Article in Journal of synchrotron radiation, 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
Scanning fluorescence X-ray microscopy is widely used for quantitative mapping of elemental concentrations, including in studies of essential but low-concentration metals in cells, tissues, and organs. Practical studies often use a single incident photon energy to excite fluorescence from many elements. We present calculations of the number of incident photons per pixel required to detect a specified areal concentration of an element in the case of far-from-threshold excitation, along with the calculated radiation dose consequently imparted in a simple model tissue. We also show how certain approximations can lead to less accurate estimates. These calculations are not specific to one particular experiment, though we also provide a comparison with one experimental result. These results can be used to guide experimental planning for studies of the role of low-concentration elements in biological tissues.
