Automated Quantitative Analysis of Shape Features in Human Epithelial Monolayers and Spheroids Generated from Colorectal Cancer Cells.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Advancements in microscopy techniques permit us to acquire endless datasets of images. A major bottleneck in cell imaging is how to analyze petabytes of data in an effective, reliable, objective, and effortless way. Quantitative imaging is becoming crucial to disentangle the complexity of many biological and pathological processes. For instance, cell shape is a summary readout of a myriad of cellular processes. Changes in cell shape use to reflect changes in growth, migration mode (including speed and persistence), differentiation stage, apoptosis, or gene expression, serving to predict health or disease. However, in certain contexts, e.g., tissues or tumors, cells are tightly packed together, and measurement of individual cellular shapes can be challenging and laborious. Bioinformatics solutions like automated computational image methods provide a blind and efficient analysis of large image datasets. Here we describe a detailed and friendly step-by-step protocol to extract various cellular shape parameters quickly and accurately from colorectal cancer cells forming either monolayers or spheroids. We envision those similar settings could be extended to other cell lines, colorectal and beyond, either label/unlabeled or in 2D/3D environments.
