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

Advances in electron microscopy, image segmentation and computational infrastructure have given rise to large-scale and richly annotated connectomic datasets, which are increasingly shared across communities. To enable collaboration, users need to be able to concurrently create annotations and correct errors in the automated segmentation by proofreading. In large datasets, every proofreading edit relabels cell identities of millions of voxels and thousands of annotations like synapses. For analysis, users require immediate and reproducible access to this changing and expanding data landscape. Here we present the Connectome Annotation Versioning Engine (CAVE), a computational infrastructure that provides scalable solutions for proofreading and flexible annotation support for fast analysis queries at arbitrary time points. Deployed as a suite of web services, CAVE empowers distributed communities to perform reproducible connectome analysis in up to petascale datasets (~1 mm
