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

Purpose: Current bulk molecular assays fail to capture spatial signaling activities in cancers, limiting our understanding of drug resistance mechanisms. We developed a graph-based super-resolution protein-protein interaction (GSR-PPI) technique to spatially resolve single-cell signaling networks and evaluate whether higher resolution microscopy enhances the biological study of PPIs using deep learning classification models. Methods: Single-cell spatial proximity ligation assays (PLA, ≤ 9 PPI pairs) were conducted on EGFR mutant (EGFRm) PC9 and HCC827 cells (>10,000 cells) treated with 100 nM Osimertinib. Multiplexed PPI images were obtained using wide-field and super-resolution microscopy (Zeiss Airyscan, SRRF). Graph-based deep learning models analyzed subcellular protein interactions to classify drug treatment states and test GSR-PPI on clinical tissue samples. GSR-PPI triangulated PPI nodes into 3D relationships, predicting drug treatment labels. Biological discriminative ability (BDA) was evaluated using accuracy, AUC, and F1 scores. The method was also applied to 3D spatial proteomic molecular pixelation (PixelGen) data from T cells. Results: GSR-PPI outperformed baseline models in predicting drug responses from multiplexed PPI imaging in EGFRm cells. Super-resolution data significantly improved accuracy over localized wide-field imaging. GSR-PPI classified drug treatment states in cancer cells and human lung tissues, with performance improving as imaging resolution increased. It differentiated single and combination drug therapies in HCC827 cells and human tissues. Additionally, GSR-PPI accurately distinguished T-cell stimulation states, identifying key nodes such as CD44, CD45, and CD54. Conclusion: The GSR-PPI framework provides valuable insights into spatial protein interactions and drug responses, enhancing the study of signaling biology and drug resistance.
