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

Recent advancements in probe-based, full-transcriptome technologies for FFPE tissues, such as Visium CytAssist, Chromium Flex, and GeoMx DSP, enable analysis of archival samples, facilitating the generation of data from extensive cohorts. However, these methods can be labor-intensive and costly, requiring informed selection based on research objectives. We compare these methods on FFPE tumor samples in Breast, NSCLC and DLBCL showing 1) good-quality, highly reproducible data from all methods; 2) GeoMx data containing cell mixtures despite marker-based preselection; 3) Visium and Chromium outperform GeoMx in discovering tumor heterogeneity and potential drug targets. We recommend the use of Visium and Chromium for high-throughput and discovery projects, while the manually more challenging GeoMx platform with targeted regions remains valuable for specialized questions.
