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

Reproducing computational workflows in image analysis and microscopy can be a daunting task due to different software versions and dependencies. This is especially true for users with little specific knowledge of scientific computation. To overcome these challenges, we introduce Singularity containers as a useful tool to run and share image analysis workflows among many users, even years later after establishing them. Unfortunately, containers are rarely used so far in the image analysis field. To address this lack of use, we provide a detailed step-by-step protocol to package a state-of-the-art segmentation algorithm into a container on a local Windows machine to run the container on a high-performance cluster computer.
