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

Emerging imaging strategies, such as tissue clearing and advanced light-sheet modalities, are transforming the visualization of cell differentiation, tissue reorganization, and morphogenesis in both model and non-model organisms, thereby driving future discoveries of conserved developmental programs and species-specific innovations. In this study, we present a versatile Bessel light sheet microscopy (BLX) system compatible with both immersion and capped air objectives, optimized for whole-mount three-dimensional imaging of cleared tissues. We demonstrate that autofluorescence-based light-sheet imaging enables reliable visualization of CUBIC-R-cleared mouse embryos, revealing microanatomical features such as nephrons during developmental stages. To support solvent-based clearing protocols, we designed a protective lens cap that shields objectives from solvent erosion and economically converts standard air objectives into high-performance immersion objectives. Using this capped BLX configuration, we achieved cellular-resolution imaging of whole PEGASOS-cleared mouse brains. The system's simplified design and open-source availability promote broader adoption for diverse applications in developmental biology.
