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

The tumor microenvironment (TME) profoundly influences tumor progression and affects immunotherapy responses and resistance. Understanding its heterogeneity is the key for developing immunotherapy. However, the available methods can only partially portray the TME heterogeneity with a small number of cell types. Here, we developed a deep learning-based frame with a design visible, DCNet, that embeds the relationships between cells and their marker genes in the neural network, and can infer the cell landscape with more than 400 cell types based on bulk RNA-seq data. DCNet accurately recapitulated the cell landscape of multiple single cell RNA-seq datasets, which showed better robustness and stability. Based on the cell landscape of TCGA patients, which was built with DCNet, the patients were divided into two groups with significant differences in survival time and distinct cell-type populations. DCNet provides a foundation for decoding TME heterogeneity. The source code of DCNet can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/xindd/DCNet.
