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

Immune cell differentials are most commonly performed manually or with the use of automated cell sorting devices. However, manual review by research personnel can be both subjective and time consuming, and cell sorting approaches consume samples and demand additional reagents to perform the differential. We have created an artificial intelligence (AI) image processing pipeline using the Biodock.ai platform to classify immune cell types from Giemsa-stained cytospins of mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Through multiple rounds of training and refinement, we have created a tool that is as accurate as manual review of slide images while removing the subjectivity and making the process mostly hands off, saving researcher time for other tasks and improving core turnaround for experiments. This AI-based image processing is directly compatible with current workflows utilizing stained slides, in contrast to a change to a flow cytometry-based approach, which requires both specialized equipment, reagents, and expertise.
