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

Within the developing embryo is a microcosm of cell type diversity. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) is used to reveal cell types, typically by grouping cells according to their gene regulatory states. However, both across and within these regulatory states are additional layers of cellular diversity represented by the differential expression of genes that govern cell function. Here, we analyzed scRNA-seq data representing the late gastrula stage of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (purple sea urchin) to understand the patterning of transporters belonging to the ABC and SLC families. These transporters handle diverse substrates from amino acids to signaling molecules, nutrients and xenobiotics. Using transporter-based clustering, we identified unique transporter patterns that are both shared across cell lineages, as well as those that were unique to known cell types. We further explored three patterns of transporter expression in mesodermal cells including secondary mesenchyme cells (pigment cells and blastocoelar cells) and skeletogenic cells (primary mesenchyme cells). The results revealed the enrichment of SMTs potentially involved in nutrient absorption (SLC5A9, SLC7A11, SLC35F3, and SLC52A3) and skeletogenesis (SLC9A3, SLC13A2/3/5, and SLC39A13) in pigment cells and blastocoelar cells respectively. The results indicated that the strategy of clustering by cellular activity can be useful for discovering cellular populations that would otherwise remain obscured.
