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

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology allows massively parallel characterization of thousands of cells at the transcriptome level. scRNA-seq is emerging as an important tool to investigate the cellular components and their interactions in the tumor microenvironment. scRNA-seq is also used to reveal the association between tumor microenvironmental patterns and clinical outcomes and to dissect cell-specific effects of drug treatment in complex tissues. Recent advances in scRNA-seq have driven the discovery of biomarkers in diseases and therapeutic targets. Although methods for prediction of drug response using gene expression of scRNA-seq data have been proposed, an integrated tool from scRNA-seq analysis to drug discovery is required. We present scDrug as a bioinformatics workflow that includes a one-step pipeline to generate cell clustering for scRNA-seq data and two methods to predict drug treatments. The scDrug pipeline consists of three main modules: scRNA-seq analysis for identification of tumor cell subpopulations, functional annotation of cellular subclusters, and prediction of drug responses. scDrug enables the exploration of scRNA-seq data readily and facilitates the drug repurposing process. scDrug is freely available on GitHub at https://github.com/ailabstw/scDrug.
