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

Important quantities of biological data can today be acquired to characterize cell types and states, from various sources and using a wide diversity of methods, providing scientists with more and more information to answer challenging biological questions. Unfortunately, working with this amount of data comes at the price of ever-increasing data complexity. This is caused by the multiplication of data types and batch effects, which hinders the joint usage of all available data within common analyses. Data integration describes a set of tasks geared towards embedding several datasets of different origins or modalities into a joint representation that can then be used to carry out downstream analyses. In the last decade, dozens of methods have been proposed to tackle the different facets of the data integration problem, relying on various paradigms. This review introduces the most common data types encountered in computational biology and provides systematic definitions of the data integration problems. We then present how machine learning innovations were leveraged to build effective data integration algorithms, that are widely used today by computational biologists. We discuss the current state of data integration and important pitfalls to consider when working with data integration tools. We eventually detail a set of challenges the field will have to overcome in the coming years.
