Caco2suggested: CLS Cat# 300137/p1665_CaCo-2, RRID:CVCL_0025)Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources Quantification was performed using ImageJ (Schneider et al., 2012). ImageJsuggested: (ImageJ, RRID:SCR_003070)Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We found bar graphs of continuous data. We recommend replacing bar graphs with more informative graphics, as many different datasets can lead to the same bar graph. The actual data may suggest different conclusions from the summary statistics. For more information, please see Weissgerber et al (2015).
Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.
