Generalizable, high-throughput image analysis of subcellular structures using dispersion indices.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Subcellular structural dynamics and relative spatial locations are fundamental for cellular function. However, quantification of subcellular changes relies on structural identifications that are labor-intensive, difficult to scale, and highly constrained to the specific biological system under investigation. We describe a computationally efficient and generalizable open-source algorithm GRID (generalized readout of image dispersion), which applies dispersion indices to quantify the diffusiveness and aggregation of subcellular structures based on the statistical properties of images. We demonstrate GRID in detecting changes in autophagic puncta, mitochondrial clustering, microtubule dynamics, and estimating half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) values in both 2D and 3D cell cultures. Using GRID, we further discover cell-type specific autophagy responses in multicellular human midbrain organoids. GRID enables high-throughput analysis of subcellular features that are critical for understanding disease mechanisms ranging from metabolic and neuronal diseases to cancer as well as a first-pass screening method for identifying biologically active agents for drug discovery.
