An information theoretic approach to detecting spatially varying genes.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
A key step in spatial transcriptomics is identifying genes with spatially varying expression patterns. We adopt an information theoretic perspective to this problem by equating the degree of spatial coherence with the Jensen-Shannon divergence between pairs of nearby cells and pairs of distant cells. To avoid the notoriously difficult problem of estimating information theoretic divergences, we use modern approximation techniques to implement a computationally efficient algorithm designed to scale with
