Efficient Production of On-Target Reads for Small RNA Sequencing of Single Cells Using Modified Adapters.
Article in Analytical chemistry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Although single-cell mRNA sequencing has been a powerful tool to explore cellular heterogeneity, the sequencing of small RNA at the single-cell level (sc-sRNA-seq) remains a challenge, as these have no consensus sequence, are relatively low abundant, and are difficult to amplify in a bias-free fashion. We present two methods of single-cell-lysis that enable sc-sRNA-seq. The first method is a chemical-based technique with overnight freezing while the second method leverages on-chip electrical lysis of plasma membrane and physical extraction and separation of cytoplasmic RNA via isotachophoresis. We coupled these two methods with off-chip small RNA library preparation using CleanTag modified adapters to prevent the formation of adapter dimers. We then demonstrated sc-sRNA-seq with single K562 human leukemic cells. Our approaches offer a relatively short hands-on time of 6 h and efficient generation of on-target reads. The sc-sRNA-seq with our approaches showed detection of miRNA with various abundances ranging from 16 000 copies/cell to about 10 copies/cell. We anticipate this approach will create a new opportunity to explore cellular heterogeneity through small RNA expression.
