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

Spatially resolved transcriptomics provides the opportunity to investigate the gene expression profiles and the spatial context of cells in naive state, but at low transcript detection sensitivity or with limited gene throughput. Comprehensive annotating of cell types in spatially resolved transcriptomics to understand biological processes at the single cell level remains challenging. Here we propose Spatial-ID, a supervision-based cell typing method, that combines the existing knowledge of reference single-cell RNA-seq data and the spatial information of spatially resolved transcriptomics data. We present a series of benchmarking analyses on publicly available spatially resolved transcriptomics datasets, that demonstrate the superiority of Spatial-ID compared with state-of-the-art methods. Besides, we apply Spatial-ID on a self-collected mouse brain hemisphere dataset measured by Stereo-seq, that shows the scalability of Spatial-ID to three-dimensional large field tissues with subcellular spatial resolution.
