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

motivationSingle cell profiling by cytometry has emerged as a key technology in biology, immunology and clinical-translational medicine. The correct annotation, which refers to the identification of clusters as specific cell populations based on their marker expression, of clustered high-dimensional cytometry data, is a critical step of the analysis. Its accuracy determines the correct interpretation of the biological data. Despite the progress in various clustering algorithms, the annotation of clustered data still remains a manual, time consuming and error-prone task. We developed a user-friendly cluster annotation and differential abundance detection tool that can be applied on data generated with Self Organizing Map clustering algorithms, thus simplifying the annotation process of datasets that consist of hundreds or thousands of clusters.

resultsWe present Cytometry Cluster Annotation and Differential Abundance Suite (CyCadas), a semi-automated software tool that facilitates cluster annotation in cytometry data by offering both visual and computational guidance. CyCadas addresses the critical need for efficient and accurate annotation of high-resolution clustered cytometry data, significantly reducing the time needed to perform the analysis compared to both manual gating approaches and manual annotation of clustered data. The tool features a user-friendly interface, visual tools enabling data exploration and automated threshold estimation to separate negative and positive marker expression. It facilitates the definition and annotation of cell phenotypes among multiple clusters in a tree-based data structure. Finally, it calculates the abundance of various cell populations across the conditions with statistical interpretation. It is an ideal resource for researchers aiming to streamline their cytometry workflow. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: CyCadas is available as open source at: https://github.com/DII-LIH-Luxembourg/cycadas.
