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

Multiplex imaging technologies are increasingly used for single-cell phenotyping and spatial characterization of tissues; however, transparent methods are needed for comparing the performance of platforms, protocols and analytical pipelines. We developed a python software, mplexable, for reproducible image processing and utilize Jupyter notebooks to share our optimization of signal removal, antibody specificity, background correction and batch normalization of the multiplex imaging with a focus on cyclic immunofluorescence (CyCIF). Our work both improves the CyCIF methodology and provides a framework for multiplexed image analytics that can be easily shared and reproduced.
