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

Fluorescence microscopy techniques have experienced a substantial increase in the visualization and analysis of many biological processes in life science. We describe a semiautomated and versatile tool called Cell-TypeAnalyzer to avoid the time-consuming and biased manual classification of cells according to cell types. It consists of an open-source plugin for Fiji or ImageJ to detect and classify cells in 2D images. Our workflow consists of (a) image preprocessing actions, data spatial calibration, and region of interest for analysis; (b) segmentation to isolate cells from background (optionally including user-defined preprocessing steps helping the identification of cells); (c) extraction of features from each cell; (d) filters to select relevant cells; (e) definition of specific criteria to be included in the different cell types; (f) cell classification; and (g) flexible analysis of the results. Our software provides a modular and flexible strategy to perform cell classification through a wizard-like graphical user interface in which the user is intuitively guided through each step of the analysis. This procedure may be applied in batch mode to multiple microscopy files. Once the analysis is set up, it can be automatically and efficiently performed on many images. The plugin does not require any programming skill and can analyze cells in many different acquisition setups.
