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

summaryWe introduce BioImage Archive Binder (bia-binder), an open-source, cloud-architectured, and web-based coding environment tailored to bioimage analysis that is freely accessible to all researchers. The service generates easy-to-use Jupyter Notebook coding environments hosted on EMBL-EBI's Embassy Cloud, an academically hosted compute service which provides significant computational resources. The bia-binder architecture is free, open-source and publicly available for deployment. It features fast and direct access to images in the BioImage Archive, the Image Data Resource, and the BioStudies databases. We believe that this service can play a role in mitigating the current inequalities in access to scientific resources across academia. As bia-binder produces permanent links to compiled coding environments, we foresee the service to become widely used within the community and enable exploratory research. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: bia-binder is built and deployed using helmsman and helm and released under the MIT licence. It can be accessed at binder.bioimagearchive.org and runs on any standard web browser.
