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

Cytometry data, including flow and mass cytometry, are widely used in immunological studies such as cancer immunotherapy and vaccine trials. These data provide rich insights into immune cell dynamics and their relationship to clinical outcomes. However, traditional analyses based on summary statistics may overlook critical single-cell information. To address this, we introduce cytoGPNet, a novel method for predicting individual-level outcomes from cytometry data. cytoGPNet addresses four key challenges: (1) accommodating varying numbers of cells per sample, (2) analyzing longitudinal cytometry data to capture temporal patterns, (3) maintaining robustness despite limited sample sizes, and (4) ensuring interpretability for biomarker discovery. We apply cytoGPNet across multiple immunological studies with diverse designs and show that it consistently outperforms existing methods in predictive accuracy. Importantly, cytoGPNet also offers interpretable insights at multiple levels, enhancing our understanding of immune responses. These results highlight cytoGPNet's potential to advance cytometry-based analysis in immunological research.
