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

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has the potential to reveal cell structure down to atomic resolution. Nevertheless, cellular cryo-ET data is highly complex, requiring image segmentation for visualization and quantification of subcellular structures. Due to noise and anisotropic resolution in cryo-ET data, automatic segmentation based on classical computer vision approaches usually does not perform satisfactorily. Communication between neurons relies on neurotransmitter-filled synaptic vesicle (SV) exocytosis. Cryo-ET study of the spatial organization of SVs and their interconnections allows a better understanding of the mechanisms of exocytosis regulation. Accurate SV segmentation is a prerequisite to obtaining a faithful connectivity representation. Hundreds of SVs are present in a synapse, and their manual segmentation is a bottleneck. We addressed this by designing a workflow consisting of a convolutional network followed by post-processing steps. Alongside, we provide an interactive tool for accurately segmenting spherical vesicles. Our pipeline can in principle segment spherical vesicles in any cell type as well as extracellular and in vitro spherical vesicles.
