ColocZStats: a z-stack signal colocalization extension tool for 3D slicer.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2024. 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
Confocal microscopy has evolved to be a widely adopted imaging technique in molecular biology and is frequently utilized to achieve accurate subcellular localization of proteins. Applying colocalization analysis on image z-stacks obtained from confocal fluorescence microscopes is a dependable method of revealing the relationship between different molecules. In addition, despite the established advantages and growing adoption of 3D visualization software in various microscopy research domains, there have been few systems that can support colocalization analysis within a user-specified region of interest (ROI). In this context, several broadly employed biological image visualization platforms are meticulously explored in this study to understand the current landscape. It has been observed that while these applications can generate three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions for z-stacks, and in some cases transfer them into an immersive virtual reality (VR) scene, there is still little support for performing quantitative colocalization analysis on such images based on a user-defined ROI and thresholding levels. To address these issues, an extension called ColocZStats (pronounced Coloc-Zee-Stats) has been developed for 3D Slicer, a widely used free and open-source software package for image analysis and scientific visualization. With a custom-designed user-friendly interface, ColocZStats allows investigators to conduct intensity thresholding and ROI selection on imported 3D image stacks. It can deliver several essential colocalization metrics for structures of interest and produce reports in the form of diagrams and spreadsheets.
