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

Tumor tissues are heterogeneous with different cell types in tumor microenvironment, which play an important role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Several computational algorithms and tools have been developed to infer the cell composition from bulk transcriptome profiles. However, they ignore the tissue specificity and thus a new resource for tissue-specific cell transcriptomic reference is needed for inferring cell composition in tumor microenvironment and exploring their association with clinical outcomes and tumor omics. In this study, we developed SCISSOR™ (https://thecailab.com/scissor/), an online open resource to fulfill that demand by integrating five orthogonal omics data of >6031 large-scale bulk samples, patient clinical outcomes and 451 917 high-granularity tissue-specific single-cell transcriptomic profiles of 16 cancer types. SCISSOR™ provides five major analysis modules that enable flexible modeling with adjustable parameters and dynamic visualization approaches. SCISSOR™ is valuable as a new resource for promoting tumor heterogeneity and tumor-tumor microenvironment cell interaction research, by delineating cells in the tissue-specific tumor microenvironment and characterizing their associations with tumor omics and clinical outcomes.
