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
Multiplex immunofluorescence (MxIF) is an emerging imaging technology whose downstream molecular analytics highly rely upon the effectiveness of cell segmentation. In practice, multiple membrane markers (e.g., NaKATPase, PanCK and β-catenin) are employed to stain membranes for different cell types, so as to achieve a more comprehensive cell segmentation since no single marker fits all cell types. However, prevalent watershed-based image processing might yield inferior capability for modeling complicated relationships between markers. For example, some markers can be misleading due to questionable stain quality. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based membrane segmentation method to aggregate complementary information that is uniquely provided by large scale MxIF markers. We aim to segment tubular membrane structure in MxIF data using global (membrane markers z-stack projection image) and local (separate individual markers) information to maximize topology preservation with deep learning. Specifically, we investigate the feasibility of four SOTA 2D deep networks and four volumetric-based loss functions. We conducted a comprehensive ablation study to assess the sensitivity of the proposed method with various combinations of input channels. Beyond using adjusted rand index (ARI) as the evaluation metric, which was inspired by the clDice, we propose a novel volumetric metric that is specific for skeletal structure, denoted as
