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

To reveal the dynamic features of cellular systems, such as the correlation among phenotypes, a time or condition series set of samples is typically required. Here, we propose intra-ramanome correlation analysis (IRCA) to achieve this goal from just one snapshot of an isogenic population, via pairwise correlation among the cells of the thousands of Raman peaks in single-cell Raman spectra (SCRS), i.e., by taking advantage of the intrinsic metabolic heterogeneity among individual cells. For example, IRCA of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under nitrogen depletion revealed metabolite conversions at each time point plus their temporal dynamics, such as protein-to-starch conversion followed by starch-to-triacylglycerol (TAG) conversion, and conversion of membrane lipids to TAG. Such among-cell correlations in SCRS vanished when the starch-biosynthesis pathway was knocked out yet were fully restored by genetic complementation. Extension of IRCA to 64 microalgal, fungal, and bacterial ramanomes suggests the IRCA-derived metabolite conversion network as an intrinsic metabolic signature of isogenic cellular population that is reliable, species-resolved, and state-sensitive. The high-throughput, low cost, excellent scalability, and general extendibility of IRCA suggest its broad applications.
