SPEX: A modular end-to-end platform for high-plex tissue spatial omics analysis.
Article in GigaScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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 transcriptomics and proteomics have opened the possibility for spatially resolved molecular characterization of tissue architecture with the promise of enabling a deeper understanding of tissue biology in either homeostasis or disease. The wealth of data generated by these technologies has recently driven the development of a wide range of computational methods. These methods have the requirement of advanced coding fluency to be applied and integrated across the full spatial omics analysis process, thus presenting a hurdle for widespread adoption by the biology research community. To address this, we introduce SPEX (Spatial Expression Explorer), a web-based analysis platform that employs modular analysis pipeline design, accessible through a user-friendly interface. SPEX's infrastructure allows for streamlined access to open-source image data management systems, analysis modules, and fully integrated data visualization solutions. Analysis modules include essential steps covering image processing, single-cell analysis, and spatial analysis. We demonstrate SPEX's ability to facilitate the discovery of biological insights in spatially resolved omics datasets from healthy tissue to tumor samples.
