The Influence of Formaldehyde Fixation Media on the Raman Spectroscopic Analysis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Journal of biophotonics, 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
Raman Difference spectroscopy (RDS) presents a promising, non-invasive approach for facilitating rapid diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Many ex vivo studies rely on formalin-embedded tissue specimens. Spectroscopic changes and classification of formalin-fixed OSCC tissues were investigated. In an analysis of 47 specimens (n = 30 OSCC, n = 17 physiological mucosa), RDS was employed at 180 distinct measurement loci after storage in saline, and again at 125 measurement loci after storage in formalin. For classification, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were utilized. In distinguishing OSCC from physiological mucosa, LDA revealed a higher sensitivity (97.6% for NaCl-stored vs. 90.9% for formalin-fixed tissues), specificity (93.0% vs. 78.6%), and overall classification accuracy (95.2% vs. 85.4%) for specimens stored in saline. While formalin fixation is valuable for tissue preservation in histopathology, Raman spectra of OSCC tissues were substantially altered, with implications for validation of innovative optical techniques such as Raman Spectroscopy.
