Video compression to support the expansion of whole-slide imaging into cytology.
Article in Journal of medical imaging (Bellingham, Wash.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Digital screening and diagnosis from cytology slides can be aided by capturing multiple focal planes. However, using conventional methods, the large file sizes of high-resolution whole-slide images increase linearly with the number of focal planes acquired, leading to significant data storage and bandwidth requirements for the efficient storage and transfer of cytology virtual slides. We investigated whether a sequence of focal planes contained sufficient redundancy to efficiently compress virtual slides across focal planes by applying a commonly available video compression standard, high-efficiency video coding (HEVC). By developing an adaptive algorithm that applied compression to achieve a target image quality, we found that the compression ratio of HEVC exceeded that obtained using JPEG and JPEG2000 compression while maintaining a comparable level of image quality. These results suggest an alternative method for the efficient storage and transfer of whole-slide images that contain multiple focal planes, expanding the utility of this rapidly evolving imaging technology into cytology.
