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

backgroundHigh throughput single-cell transcriptomic technology produces massive high-dimensional data, enabling high-resolution cell type definition and identification. To uncover the expressional patterns beneath the big data, a transcriptional landscape searching algorithm at a single-cell level is desirable.

resultsWe explored the feasibility of using DenseFly algorithm for cell searching on scRNA-seq data. DenseFly is a locality sensitive hashing algorithm inspired by the fruit fly olfactory system. The experiments indicate that DenseFly outperforms the baseline methods FlyHash and SimHash in classification tasks, and the performance is robust to dropout events and batch effects.

conclusionWe developed a method for mapping cells across scRNA-seq datasets based on the DenseFly algorithm. It can be an efficient tool for cell atlas searching.
