Two-Photon Fluorescence and Second-Harmonic Generation Microscopy: Principles and Biomedical Applications.
Review 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
Two-photon microscopy (TPM) has revolutionized biological imaging by enabling high-resolution, deep-tissue visualization with reduced photobleaching and photodamage. This review discusses complementary nonlinear optical imaging modalities such as two-photon fluorescence (TPF), second-harmonic generation (SHG), and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) microscopy that together provide structural, molecular, and metabolic information. The review begins by introducing the basic principles, instrumentation, and capabilities of two-photon fluorescence microscopy and FLIM. Followed by the development of SHG microscopy, highlighting advances from conventional SHG imaging to polarization-resolved, circular dichroism, and Stokes-Mueller polarimetric approaches. The biomedical applications of these complementary techniques are subsequently discussed, followed by an overview of multimodal imaging strategies that combine structural, molecular, and functional information. Collectively, these modalities represent a versatile and rapidly evolving imaging toolkit with broad potential to advance biomedical research, disease diagnosis, and precision medicine.
