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

Spatial transcriptomic studies are reaching single-cell spatial resolution, with data often collected from multiple tissue sections. Here, we present a computational method, BASS, that enables multi-scale and multi-sample analysis for single-cell resolution spatial transcriptomics. BASS performs cell type clustering at the single-cell scale and spatial domain detection at the tissue regional scale, with the two tasks carried out simultaneously within a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework. We illustrate the benefits of BASS through comprehensive simulations and applications to three datasets. The substantial power gain brought by BASS allows us to reveal accurate transcriptomic and cellular landscape in both cortex and hypothalamus.
