Stratified Test Accurately Identifies Differentially Expressed Genes Under Batch Effects in Single-Cell Data.
Article in IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Analyzing single-cell sequencing data from large cohorts is challenging. Discrepancies across experiments and differences among participants often lead to omissions and false discoveries in differentially expressed genes. We find that the Van Elteren test, a stratified version of the widely used Wilcoxon rank-sum test, elegantly mitigates the problem. We also modified the common language effect size to supplement this test, further improving its utility. On both simulated and real patient data we show the ability of Van Elteren test to control for false positives and false negatives. A comprehensive assessment using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve shows that Van Elteren test achieves higher sensitivity and specificity on simulated datasets, compared with nine state-of-the-art differential expression analysis methods. The effect size also estimates the differences between cell types more accurately.
