What's past is prologue: FRAP keeps delivering 50 years later.
Review in Biophysical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) has emerged as one of the most widely utilized techniques to quantify binding and diffusion kinetics of biomolecules in biophysics. Since its inception in the mid-1970s, FRAP has been used to address an enormous array of questions including the characteristic features of lipid rafts, how cells regulate the viscosity of their cytoplasm, and the dynamics of biomolecules inside condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation. In this perspective, I briefly summarize the history of the field and discuss why FRAP has proven to be so incredibly versatile and popular. Next, I provide an overview of the extensive body of knowledge that has emerged on best practices for quantitative FRAP data analysis, followed by some recent examples of biological lessons learned using this powerful approach. Finally, I touch on new directions and opportunities for biophysicists to contribute to the continued development of this still-relevant research tool.
