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

motivationCell type-specific activities of cis-regulatory elements (CRE) are central to understanding gene regulation and disease predisposition. Single-cell RNA 5'end sequencing (sc-end5-seq) captures the transcription start sites (TSS) which can be used as a proxy to measure the activity of transcribed CREs (tCREs). However, a substantial fraction of TSS identified from sc-end5-seq data may not be genuine due to various artifacts, hindering the use of sc-end5-seq for de novo discovery of tCREs.

resultsWe developed SCAFE-Single-Cell Analysis of Five-prime Ends-a software suite that processes sc-end5-seq data to de novo identify TSS clusters based on multiple logistic regression. It annotates tCREs based on the identified TSS clusters and generates a tCRE-by-cell count matrix for downstream analyses. The software suite consists of a set of flexible tools that could either be run independently or as pre-configured workflows. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: SCAFE is implemented in Perl and R.
