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

Patient-derived organoids are increasingly being used in disease modeling, clinical research, drug development, and precision medicine. However, capturing complex organoid behaviors in dense three-dimensional culture environments remains challenging for manual workflows, and bright-field images often contain background artifacts that complicate quantitative analysis. To address this gap, we developed OrgLine, a quantitative analysis pipeline for organoids. Built on a large, curated bright-field image dataset, it couples a detector with a prompt-guided segmentation module. OrgLine recognizes organoids in bright-field images, supports quantitative characterization of morphological phenotypes across developmental stages, and enables accurate instance segmentation for downstream morphometric assessment. Together, these capabilities support more automated and quantitative organoid cultivation workflows.
