Rapid development of cloud-native intelligent data pipelines for scientific data streams using the HASTE Toolkit.
Article in GigaScience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLarge streamed datasets, characteristic of life science applications, are often resource-intensive to process, transport and store. We propose a pipeline model, a design pattern for scientific pipelines, where an incoming stream of scientific data is organized into a tiered or ordered "data hierarchy". We introduce the HASTE Toolkit, a proof-of-concept cloud-native software toolkit based on this pipeline model, to partition and prioritize data streams to optimize use of limited computing resources.
findingsIn our pipeline model, an "interestingness function" assigns an interestingness score to data objects in the stream, inducing a data hierarchy. From this score, a "policy" guides decisions on how to prioritize computational resource use for a given object. The HASTE Toolkit is a collection of tools to adopt this approach. We evaluate with 2 microscopy imaging case studies. The first is a high content screening experiment, where images are analyzed in an on-premise container cloud to prioritize storage and subsequent computation. The second considers edge processing of images for upload into the public cloud for real-time control of a transmission electron microscope.
conclusionsThrough our evaluation, we created smart data pipelines capable of effective use of storage, compute, and network resources, enabling more efficient data-intensive experiments. We note a beneficial separation between scientific concerns of data priority, and the implementation of this behaviour for different resources in different deployment contexts. The toolkit allows intelligent prioritization to be `bolted on' to new and existing systems - and is intended for use with a range of technologies in different deployment scenarios.
