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

Gene expression dynamics provide directional information for trajectory inference from single-cell RNA sequencing data. Traditional approaches compute RNA velocity using strict modeling assumptions about transcription and splicing of RNA. This can fail in scenarios where multiple lineages have distinct gene dynamics or where rates of transcription and splicing are time dependent. We present "LatentVelo," an approach to compute a low-dimensional representation of gene dynamics with deep learning. LatentVelo embeds cells into a latent space with a variational autoencoder and models differentiation dynamics on this "dynamics-based" latent space with neural ordinary differential equations. LatentVelo infers a latent regulatory state that controls the dynamics of an individual cell to model multiple lineages. LatentVelo can predict latent trajectories, describing the inferred developmental path for individual cells rather than just local RNA velocity vectors. The dynamics-based embedding batch corrects cell states and velocities, outperforming comparable autoencoder batch correction methods that do not consider gene expression dynamics.
