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

Spatial omics data provide rich molecular and structural information on tissues. Their analysis provides insights into local heterogeneity of tissues and holds promise to improve patient stratification by associating clinical observations with refined tissue representations. We introduce Kasumi, a method for identifying spatially localized neighborhood patterns of intra- and intercellular relationships that are persistent across samples and conditions. The tissue representation based on these patterns can facilitate translational tasks, as we show for stratification of cancer patients for disease progression and response to treatment using data from different experimental platforms. On these tasks, Kasumi outperforms related approaches and offers explanations of spatial coordination and relationships at the cell-type or marker level. We show that persistent patterns comprise regions of different sizes, and that non-abundant, localized relationships in the tissue are strongly associated with unfavorable outcomes.
