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

The recently developed ability to quantify mRNA abundance and noise in single cells has allowed the effect of heritable variations on gene function to be re-evaluated. A recent study has shown that major sources of variation are masked when gene expression is averaged over many cells. Heritable variations that determine single-cell expression phenotypes may exert a regulatory function in specific cellular processes underlying disease. Masked effects on gene expression should therefore be modeled, not ignored.
