Deep Sc-RNA sequencing decoding the molecular dynamic architecture of the human retina.
Article in Science China. Life sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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 human retina serves as a light detector and signals transmission tissue. Advanced insights into retinal disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies require a deep understanding of healthy retina molecular events. Here, we sequenced the mRNA of over 0.6 million single cells from human retinas across six regions at nine different ages. Sixty cell sub-types have been identified from the human mature retinas with unique markers. We revealed regional and age differences of gene expression profiles within the human retina. Cell-cell interaction analysis indicated a rich synaptic connection within the retinal cells. Gene expression regulon analysis revealed the specific expression of transcription factors and their regulated genes in human retina cell types. Some of the gene's expression, such as DKK3, are elevated in aged retinas. A further functional investigation suggested that over expression of DKK3 could impact mitochondrial stability. Overall, decoding the molecular dynamic architecture of the human retina improves our understanding of the vision system.
