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

Digital pathology is rapidly transforming diagnostic pathology by allowing remote work and integration of artificial intelligence solutions. Nevertheless, certain technical issues remain to be resolved. Notably, digital images captured by conventional scanners cannot be subjected to polarised light analysis [1]. We have therefore studied if images obtained using the Glissando POL Brightfield and Polarised Light Scanner are comparable to those obtained using conventional polarised light microscopy. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections from 75 cases, including cases of amyloidosis, periprosthetic membranes, foreign body granulomas, gout, pseudogout, and breast tissues with calcium oxalate crystals were examined using both, a polarised light microscope and the Glissando POL scanner. Representative digital images were acquired for comparison. We here show that in all settings, the images obtained by conventional polarised light microscopy and using the Glissando POL scanner were comparable. We conclude that the Glissando POL scanner can be safely integrated into a digital pathology workflow.
