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

motivationSpatial omics data provides unprecedented insights into disease biology, yet its complexity introduces significant challenges in data analysis. Comprehensive analysis requires frameworks that integrate diverse modalities and enable joint processing of multiple datasets and corresponding metadata.

resultsTo address these challenges, we introduce InSituPy, a versatile and scalable framework for analyzing spatial omics data from the multi-sample level down to the cellular and subcellular level. Its hierarchical data structure organizes all relevant data modalities per sample and links them to their corresponding metadata, enabling scalable analysis of large patient cohorts using spatial omics technologies. Interactive visualization tools within InSituPy enable seamless integration of histopathological expertise, promoting collaborative hypothesis generation in translational research. Additionally, InSituPy includes built-in analytical algorithms and interfaces with external tools, establishing a standardized workflow for multi-sample spatial omics data analysis. AVAILABILITY: The Python package InSituPy is publicly available on GitHub (https://github.com/SpatialPathology/InSituPy) and PyPi (https://pypi.org/project/insitupy-spatial/), and archived on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18459471). Tutorials and documentation for InSituPy are available at https://insitupy.readthedocs.io/. All code to replicate the results shown in this manuscript can be found in the GitHub repository. Scripts to connect QuPath and InSituPy can be found at https://github.com/SpatialPathology/InSituPy-QuPath. All data required to complete the tutorials is publicly available, and functions to download the data have been implemented. A Zulip community chat for user support and discussion is accessible at https://insitupy.zulipchat.com. CONTACT: j.wirth@tum.de, katja.steiger@tum.de.
