Analyzing Cell Painting PLUS Data Using Cell Profiler and KNIME Analytics Platform.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
High-throughput/high-content multiplexed phenotypic (HTS/HCS) screens, such as Cell Painting PLUS (CPP), are employed to identify morphological changes in cells induced by chemical compound treatments or genetic perturbations. These phenotypic screens generate extensive imaging data, from which hundreds to thousands of features describing cellular morphology can be extracted. Open-source software, such as Cell Profiler and KNIME Analytics Platform, provides useful tools for image analysis and data processing.In this chapter, we present a comprehensive Cell Profiler pipeline for the analysis of images generated using the Cell Painting PLUS method. The image analysis procedure starts with illumination correction, followed by image registration using 4i stitcher software developed in our laboratory to combine images scanned from different staining cycles. Subsequently, cell region segmentation and feature extraction are performed. The approximately 3000 extracted features are processed via the KNIME Analytics Platform, which relies primarily on visual programming elements to minimize the need for coding expertise. This process includes normalization and benchmark dose modeling. The responsive features or feature categories are visualized using an "accumulation plot" and a "magnitude plot," allowing users of CPP to summarize the most potentially affected organelle by the tested compound or genetic perturbation.
