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

For investigations into fate specification and morphogenesis in time-lapse images of preimplantation embryos, automated 3D instance segmentation and tracking of nuclei are invaluable. Low signal-to-noise ratio, high voxel anisotropy, high nuclear density, and variable nuclear shapes can limit the performance of segmentation methods, while tracking is complicated by cell divisions, low frame rates, and sample movements. Supervised machine learning approaches can radically improve segmentation accuracy and enable easier tracking, but they often require large amounts of annotated 3D data. Here, we first report a previously unreported mouse line expressing near-infrared nuclear reporter H2B-miRFP720. We then generate a dataset (termed BlastoSPIM) of 3D images of H2B-miRFP720-expressing embryos with ground truth for nuclear instances. Using BlastoSPIM, we benchmark seven convolutional neural networks and identify Stardist-3D as the most accurate instance segmentation method. With our BlastoSPIM-trained Stardist-3D models, we construct a complete pipeline for nuclear instance segmentation and lineage tracking from the eight-cell stage to the end of preimplantation development (>100 nuclei). Finally, we demonstrate the usefulness of BlastoSPIM as pre-train data for related problems, both for a different imaging modality and for different model systems.
