Open Raman Microscopy (ORM): A Modular Hardware and Software Framework for Accessible Raman Imaging.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
Raman microscopy is a label-free, non-destructive imaging tool for spatially resolved chemical fingerprinting. Its powerful ability to reveal molecular information has driven rapid growth in applications across fields as varied as materials science, environmental analysis, and biomedical research. Despite its versatility, the accessibility of Raman microscopy is limited by expensive commercial setups and the technical barriers faced by researchers attempting to build custom systems. Here, we introduce an Open Raman Microscopy (ORM) framework based on a readily accessible modular microscopy platform. The ORM platform provides configurations for both high-throughput imaging and confocal imaging. We developed a dedicated python-based control and acquisition software, the ORM-Integrated Raman and Imaging Software (ORM-IRIS) designed to accommodate modular integration and control of components, including the laser source, spectrometer, and translational stages. Implemented across three institutions we demonstrate the ORM platform for high-throughput imaging of articular cartilage tissue, confocal three-dimensional imaging of a zebrafish embryo, and imaging of gold colloid decorated surfaces for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Together, this open-source hardware and software framework enhances the accessibility of Raman microscopy across an expanding range of scientific applications.
