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

Clustering cells and depicting the lineage relationship among cell subpopulations are fundamental tasks in single-cell omics studies. However, existing analytical methods face challenges in stratifying cells, tracking cellular trajectories, and identifying critical points of cell transitions. To overcome these, we proposed a novel Markov hierarchical clustering algorithm (MarkovHC), a topological clustering method that leverages the metastability of exponentially perturbed Markov chains for systematically reconstructing the cellular landscape. Briefly, MarkovHC starts with local connectivity and density derived from the input and outputs a hierarchical structure for the data. We firstly benchmarked MarkovHC on five simulated datasets and ten public single-cell datasets with known labels. Then, we used MarkovHC to investigate the multi-level architectures and transition processes during human embryo preimplantation development and gastric cancer procession. MarkovHC found heterogeneous cell states and sub-cell types in lineage-specific progenitor cells and revealed the most possible transition paths and critical points in the cellular processes. These results demonstrated MarkovHC's effectiveness in facilitating the stratification of cells, identification of cell populations, and characterization of cellular trajectories and critical points.
