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

Single cell genomics is a rapidly growing field with many new techniques emerging in the past few years. However, few bioinformatics tools specific for single cell genomics analysis are available. Single cell DNA/RNA sequencing data usually have low genome coverage and high amplification bias, which makes bioinformatics analysis challenging. Many current bioinformatics tools developed for bulk cell sequencing do not work well with single cell sequencing data. Here, we summarize current challenges in the bioinformatics analysis of single cell genomic DNA sequencing and single cell transcriptomes. These challenges include calling copy number variations, identifying mutated genes in tumor samples, reconstructing cell lineages, recovering low abundant transcripts, and improving the accuracy of quantitative analysis of transcripts. Development in single cell genomics bioinformatics analysis will promote the application of this technology to basic biology and medical research.
