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

One of the most common objectives in the analysis of flow cytometry data is the identification and delineation of phenotypes, distinct populations of cells with shared characteristics in the measurement dimensions. We have developed an automated tool to comprehensively identify these cell populations by Exhaustive Projection Pursuit (EPP). The method evaluates all two-dimensional projections among the suitable data dimensions and creates an optimized sequence of statistically significant gating regions that identify all phenotypes supported by the data. We evaluate the results of EPP on four well characterized data sets from the literature. The C++ code for EPP can be called from any computing environment. We illustrate this with a MATLAB utility that integrates EPP with FlowJo. All source code is freely available.
