Laser speckle contrast imaging of hepatic microcirculation.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2025. 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
The liver controls blood homeostasis and depends critically on adequate blood supply. While the global regulation of liver blood flow via the hepatic arterial buffer response is well established, the mechanisms governing hepatic sinusoidal hemodynamics remain elusive. We use laser speckle contrast imaging to investigate the hepatic microvascular blood flow in anesthetized rats. Laser speckle contrast imaging offers a spatial resolution of a few micrometers, enabling visualization of individual microvessels, and a temporal resolution sufficient to track flow dynamics. This allowed us to resolve individual sinusoids and venules on the liver surface and to detect a reduction of the blood flow following local Angiotensin II injections. We show that the microvascular blood flow oscillates with frequencies within the range of 0.05-0.4 Hz, which may be linked to rhythmic contraction of upstream blood vessels. Our findings provide insights into vessel-specific liver microcirculation
