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

motivationHigh-throughput fluorescent microscopy is a popular class of techniques for studying tissues and cells through automated imaging and feature extraction of hundreds to thousands of samples. Like other high-throughput assays, these approaches can suffer from unwanted noise and technical artifacts that obscure the biological signal. In this work, we consider how an experimental design incorporating multiple levels of replication enables the removal of technical artifacts from such image-based platforms.

resultsWe develop a general approach to remove technical artifacts from high-throughput image data that leverages an experimental design with multiple levels of replication. To illustrate the methods, we consider microenvironment microarrays (MEMAs), a high-throughput platform designed to study cellular responses to microenvironmental perturbations. In application to MEMAs, our approach removes unwanted spatial artifacts and thereby enhances the biological signal. This approach has broad applicability to diverse biological assays. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Raw data are on synapse (syn2862345), analysis code is on github: gjhunt/mema_norm, a reproducible Docker image is available on dockerhub: gjhunt/mema_norm. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
