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

backgroundTechnological developments in the emerging field of spatial transcriptomics have opened up an unexplored landscape where transcript information is put in a spatial context. Clustering commonly constitutes a central component in analyzing this type of data. However, deciding on the number of clusters to use and interpreting their relationships can be difficult.

resultsWe introduce SpatialCPie, an R package designed to facilitate cluster evaluation for spatial transcriptomics data. SpatialCPie clusters the data at multiple resolutions. The results are visualized with pie charts that indicate the similarity between spatial regions and clusters and a cluster graph that shows the relationships between clusters at different resolutions. We demonstrate SpatialCPie on several publicly available datasets.

conclusionsSpatialCPie provides intuitive visualizations of cluster relationships when dealing with Spatial Transcriptomics data.
