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

summarySpatialPEFT is a unified parameter-efficient fine-tuning framework that enables the robust adaptation of large spatial transcriptomics foundation models (up to 1.4 billion parameters) on a single 16 GB consumer-grade GPU. By integrating Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), gradient checkpointing, and a spatial-aware adapter, it reduces peak VRAM by over 87% while substantially improving downstream spatial annotation accuracy. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: SpatialPEFT is implemented in Python and released under the MIT license. The source code, documentation, and tutorials are freely available at https://github.com/applerplay/SpatialPEFT, with an archival snapshot deposited at Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20725321).
