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

The recent advancement of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies facilitates the study of cell lineages in developmental processes and cancer. In this study, we developed a computational method, called redPATH, to reconstruct the pseudo developmental time of cell lineages using a consensus asymmetric Hamiltonian path algorithm. Besides, we developed a novel approach to visualize the trajectory development and implemented visualization methods to provide biological insights. We validated the performance of redPATH by segmenting different stages of cell development on multiple neural stem cell and cancer datasets, as well as other single-cell transcriptome data. In particular, we identified a stem cell-like subpopulation in malignant glioma cells. These cells express known proliferative markers, such as GFAP, ATP1A2, IGFBPL1, and ALDOC, and remain silenced for quiescent markers such as ID3. Furthermore, we identified MCL1 as a significant gene that regulates cell apoptosis and CSF1R for reprogramming macrophages to control tumor growth. In conclusion, redPATH is a comprehensive tool for analyzing scRNA-seq datasets along the pseudo developmental time. redPATH is available at https://github.com/tinglabs/redPATH.
