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

Advances in digital pathology (DP) and whole slide imaging (WSI) are transforming the application of image analysis (IA) techniques for interpreting in situ hybridisation (ISH) results. However, a multitude of complexities can arise during image acquisition, leading to downstream challenges in image analysis. Overcoming these issues requires an understanding of both the biological question and the techniques available to achieve the best outcome. This protocol describes the use of different HALO modules for the analysis of multiplex RNAscope images, depending on sample-to-sample variations in probe expression and image quality.Keywords .
