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

backgroundUnsupervised clustering is a common and exceptionally useful tool for large biological datasets. However, clustering requires upfront algorithm and hyperparameter selection, which can introduce bias into the final clustering labels. It is therefore advisable to obtain a range of clustering results from multiple models and hyperparameters, which can be cumbersome and slow.

resultsWe present hypercluster, a python package and SnakeMake pipeline for flexible and parallelized clustering evaluation and selection. Users can efficiently evaluate a huge range of clustering results from multiple models and hyperparameters to identify an optimal model.

conclusionsHypercluster improves ease of use, robustness and reproducibility for unsupervised clustering application for high throughput biology. Hypercluster is available on pip and bioconda; installation, documentation and example workflows can be found at: https://github.com/ruggleslab/hypercluster .
