Fig. 1: Mapping the reporting topography in breast cancer spheroid research.
From: MISpheroID: a knowledgebase and transparency tool for minimum information in spheroid identity
Binary heatmap showing the experimental parameters (rows, 51 of 98 parameters, selected for relevance) of each spheroid experiment (columns, n = 1,628). The heatmap is divided vertically into three sections of parameters (‘setup’, ‘characterization both microscopic and non-microscopic’ and ‘application’; indicated in blue, light and dark green, and red; and including 18, 21 + 7, and 5 parameters, respectively) and horizontally according to the year of publication. For each section, rows are sorted in descending order according to total number of reported experimental parameters. Parameters that were not reported in an experiment appear as a white space in its corresponding column. The reporting efficiency of each parameter is indicated as a percentage in the right column. EM, electron microscopy; ECM, extracellular matrix.
