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

Mapping the spatial organization of tissues is critical to understanding organ biology in health and disease. Developments in multiplexed antibody-based, fluorescence labelling methods have provided unique insights into tissue microenvironments. However, many current methods have a variety of limitations that reduce their practical utilization including cost, time and technical complexity. To address these drawbacks, we developed Spatial Photo-inactivation Enhanced Cyclic Target REsolved multiPlexing (SPECTRE-Plex). SPECTRE-Plex is a relatively low cost, end-to-end technique based on a series of methods that significantly improve speed, automation, and resolution of cyclic multiplex immunofluorescence imaging. We describe a representative example of the application of the method by investigating spatial cellular and neighborhood changes in the proximal small intestine between healthy tissue and active celiac disease.
