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

We report a cellular barcoding strategy, SpaceBar, that enables simultaneous clone tracing and spatial transcriptomics profiling. Our approach uses a library of 96 synthetic barcode sequences that can be robustly detected by imaging based spatial transcriptomics (seqFISH), delivered such that each cell is labeled with a combination of barcodes. We used these barcodes to label melanoma cells in a tumor xenograft model and profiled both clone identity and spatial gene expression
