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

Time-lapse microscopy images generated by biological experiments have been widely used for observing target activities, such as the motion trajectories and survival states. Based on these observations, biologists can conclude experimental results or present new hypotheses for several biological applications, i.e. virus research or drug design. Many methods or tools have been proposed in the past to observe cell and particle activities, which are defined as single cell tracking and single particle tracking problems, by using algorithms and deep learning technologies. In this article, a review for these works is presented in order to summarize the past methods and research topics at first, then points out the problems raised by these works, and finally proposes future research directions. The contributions of this article will help researchers to understand past development trends and further propose innovative technologies.
