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

Understanding complex, three-dimensional tissues requires volumetric microscopy, but visualization, analysis, and processing of 3D image data can be challenging. Tissue cartography is an emerging method that exploits the sheet-like organization of many biological tissues. Extracting and cartographically projecting curved surfaces from volumetric image data turns 3D into 2D data, which is much easier to visualize, analyze, and computationally process. However, existing tissue cartography tools both require advanced coding expertise and are limited to specific tissue geometries. Here, we create an interactive, visual tool for tissue cartography within Blender, a popular 3D animation environment. blender_tissue_cartography (btc), opens tissue cartography to broad use via a user-friendly graphical interface, while harnessing powerful computer graphics algorithms to process a wide variety of biological shapes. An accompanying Python library allows faithful 3D measurements in 2D cartographic projections and the creation of custom analysis pipelines. btc batch-processes time-lapse data by propagating a cartographic projection from a single
