A Multimodal Imaging Pipeline for the Discovery of Molecular Markers of Cellular Neighborhoods.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Insights into tissue microenvironments are constrained by profiling cellular and molecular components independently. To address this, we developed an integrated, multimodal workflow combining imaging mass spectrometry and highly multiplexed immunofluorescence on the same sample. Custom computational pipelines enable precise spatial co-registration, facilitating direct integration of cellular and molecular profiles. CODEX-derived cellular and neighborhood masks enable mining of IMS-derived lipid data to identify molecular markers of cell types and spatial neighborhoods in human kidney tissue. We discovered distinct carnitine distributions in cortical and medullary regions, indicating metabolic heterogeneity driven by microenvironment-specific oxygen levels and energy demands. Glomerular cell-type-specific analysis found ether-linked phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, species associated with slit diaphragm integrity, localized to podocytes. Immune cell neighborhoods exhibited molecular signatures consistent with cell signaling and activation pathways in damaged tissue regions. This multi-omic framework links cellular organization with molecular signatures to unveil cellular and molecular relationships underlying tissue function and pathology.
