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-seq (scRNA-seq) profiles conceal temporal and spatial tissue developmental information. De novo reconstruction of single cell temporal trajectory has been fairly addressed, but reverse engineering single cell 3D spatial tissue organization is hitherto landmark based, and de novo spatial reconstruction is a compelling computational open problem. Here it is shown that a proposed algorithm for de novo coalescent embedding (D-CE) of oligo/single cell transcriptomic networks can help to address this problem. Relying on the spatial information encoded in the expression patterns of genes, it is found that D-CE of cell-cell association transcriptomic networks, by preserving mesoscale network organization, captures spatial domains, identifies spatially expressed genes, reconstructs cell samples' 3D spatial distribution, and uncovers spatial domains and markers necessary for understanding the design principles on spatial organization and pattern formation. Comparison to the novoSpaRC and CSOmap (the only available de novo 3D spatial reconstruction methods) on 14 datasets and 497 reconstructions, reveals a significantly superior performance of D-CE.
