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 RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) resolves heterogenous cell populations in tissues and helps to reveal single-cell level function and dynamics. In neuroscience, the rarity of brain tissue is the bottleneck for such study. Evidence shows that, mouse and human share similar cell type gene markers. We hypothesized that the scRNA-seq data of mouse brain tissue can be used to complete human data to infer cell type composition in human samples. Here, we supplement cell type information of human scRNA-seq data, with mouse. The resulted data were used to infer the spatial cellular composition of 3702 human brain samples from Allen Human Brain Atlas. We then mapped the cell types back to corresponding brain regions. Most cell types were localized to the correct regions. We also compare the mapping results to those derived from neuronal nuclei locations. They were consistent after accounting for changes in neural connectivity between regions. Furthermore, we applied this approach on Alzheimer's brain data and successfully captured cell pattern changes in AD brains. We believe this integrative approach can solve the sample rarity issue in the neuroscience.
