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

Background: Single cell RNA sequencing technology (scRNA-seq) has been proven useful in understanding cell-specific disease mechanisms. However, identifying genes of interest remains a key challenge. Pseudo-bulk methods that pool scRNA-seq counts in the same biological replicates have been commonly used to identify differentially expressed genes. However, such methods may lack power due to the limited sample size of scRNA-seq datasets, which can be prohibitively expensive. Results: Motivated by this, we proposed to use the Bayesian-frequentist hybrid (BFH) framework to increase the power. Conclusion: In our idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) case study, we demonstrated that with a proper informative prior, the BFH approach identified more genes of interest. Furthermore, these genes were reasonable based on the current knowledge of IPF. Thus, the BFH offers a unique and flexible framework for future scRNA-seq analyses.
