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

Tumours are composed of tumour cells and the surrounding tumour microenvironment (TME), and the molecular characterisation of the various elements of the TME and their interactions is essential for elucidating the mechanisms of tumour progression and developing better therapeutic strategies. Multiplex imaging is a technique that can quantify the expression of multiple protein markers on the same tissue section while maintaining spatial positioning, and this method has been rapidly developed in cancer research in recent years. Many multiplex imaging technologies and spatial analysis methods are emerging, and the elucidation of their principles and features is essential. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest multiplex imaging techniques by type of imaging and staining method and an introduction to image analysis methods, primarily focusing on spatial cellular properties, providing deeper insight into tumour organisation and spatial molecular biology in the TME.
