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

Individual cells exhibit substantial heterogeneity in protein abundance and activity, which is frequently reflected in broad distributions of fluorescently labeled reporters. Since all cellular components are intrinsically fluorescent to some extent, the observed distributions contain background noise that masks the natural heterogeneity of cellular populations. This limits our ability to characterize cell-fate decision processes that are key for development, immune response, tissue homeostasis, and many other biological functions. It is therefore important to separate the contributions from signal and noise in single-cell measurements. Addressing this issue rigorously requires deconvolving the noise distribution from the signal, but approaches in that direction are still limited. Here, we present a non-parametric Bayesian formalism that performs such a deconvolution efficiently on multidimensional measurements, providing unbiased estimates of the resulting confidence intervals. We use this approach to study the expression of the mesodermal transcription factor Brachyury in mouse embryonic stem cells undergoing differentiation.
