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

Biological systems are complex, encompassing intertwined spatial, molecular and functional features. However, methodological constraints limit the completeness of information that can be extracted. Here, we report the development of INSIHGT, a non-destructive, accessible three-dimensional (3D) spatial biology method utilizing superchaotropes and host-guest chemistry to achieve homogeneous, deep penetration of macromolecular probes up to centimeter scales, providing reliable semi-quantitative signals throughout the tissue volume. Diverse antigens, mRNAs, neurotransmitters, and post-translational modifications are well-preserved and simultaneously visualized. INSIHGT also allows multi-round, highly multiplexed 3D molecular probing and is compatible with downstream traditional histology and nucleic acid sequencing. With INSIHGT, we map undescribed podocyte-to-parietal epithelial cell microfilaments in mouse glomeruli and neurofilament-intensive inclusion bodies in the human cerebellum, and identify NPY-proximal cell types defined by spatial morpho-proteomics in mouse hypothalamus. We anticipate that INSIHGT can form the foundations for 3D spatial multi-omics technology development and holistic systems biology studies.
