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

In the last decade, single cell RNAseq (scRNAseq) datasets have grown in size from a single cell to millions of cells. Due to its high dimensionality, it is not always feasible to visualize scRNAseq data and share it in a scientific report or an article publication format. Recently, many interactive analysis and visualization tools have been developed to address this issue and facilitate knowledge transfer in the scientific community. In this study, we review several of the currently available scRNAseq visualization tools and benchmark the subset that allows to visualize the data on the web and share it with others. We consider the memory and time required to prepare datasets for sharing as the number of cells increases, and additionally review the user experience and features available in the web interface. To address the problem of format compatibility we have also developed a user-friendly R package,
