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

Computerized microscopes improve repeatability, throughput, antisepsis, data analysis and data sharing in the biological laboratory, but these machines are cost-prohibitive in most academic environments. This is a barrier into collecting the large and consistent datasets required for machine learning analyses of microscopy data. We demonstrate hardware modifications and software to bring the features of modern computerized microscopes to decades-old legacy laboratory inverted microscopes. We demonstrate automation of X-Y positioning, focus stacking, image acquisition and image storage.
