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

Despite evolving biological application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) at single-cell level, current techniques in NGS library preparation restrict multiplexing, necessitating the costly preparation of distinct libraries for each sample. Here, we report the development of a novel poly(β-amino) ester labeling system synthesized with inexpensive, common reagents, termed POLYseq, capable of efficiently delivering fluorescent molecules or sample-distinguishing DNA barcodes through non-covalent binding enabling rapid creation of custom sample pools. Chemical formulation was found to determine cellular labeling propensity. Live image-based tracking of fluorescent conjugated POLYseq vectors demonstrated lysosomal compartmentalization. Barcode labeling was uniformly detected across 90% of cells by single-cell RNA sequencing, allowing for the successful identification of human and mouse cultured cell lines from a single pool. These findings highlight the multifunctional applications of POLYseq in live cell imaging and NGS in a scalable and cost-effective manner.
