1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 emergent field of digital pathology employing automated image analysis techniques is to revolutionize traditional pathology at the center of clinical diagnostics. Histological images provide important tumor features unavailable in molecular profiling or omics data- the spatial context of tumor and stromal cells at single-cell resolution. Methods to map the spatial and morphological patterns of cancer and normal cells can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the highly heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. This review focuses on methods that help expand our knowledge of intra-tumoral spatial heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment and their potential synergies with molecular profiling technologies.
