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 Hi-C technology provides an unprecedented opportunity to reveal chromatin structure in individual cells. However, high sequencing cost impedes the generation of biological Hi-C data with high sequencing depths and multiple replicates for downstream analysis. Here, we developed a single-cell Hi-C simulator (scHi-CSim) that generates high-fidelity data for benchmarking. scHi-CSim merges neighboring cells to overcome the sparseness of data, samples interactions in distance-stratified chromosomes to maintain the heterogeneity of single cells, and estimates the empirical distribution of restriction fragments to generate simulated data. We demonstrated that scHi-CSim can generate high-fidelity data by comparing the performance of single-cell clustering and detection of chromosomal high-order structures with raw data. Furthermore, scHi-CSim is flexible to change sequencing depth and the number of simulated replicates. We showed that increasing sequencing depth could improve the accuracy of detecting topologically associating domains. We also used scHi-CSim to generate a series of simulated datasets with different sequencing depths to benchmark scHi-C clustering methods.
