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

motivationSingle-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has enabled discovering gene expression patterns at single cell resolution. However, due to technical limitations, there are usually excessive zeros, called "dropouts," in scRNA-seq data, which may mislead the downstream analysis. Therefore, it is crucial to impute these dropouts to recover the biological information.

resultsWe propose a two-step imputation method called tsImpute to impute scRNA-seq data. At the first step, tsImpute adopts zero-inflated negative binomial distribution to discriminate dropouts from true zeros and performs initial imputation by calculating the expected expression level. At the second step, it conducts clustering with this modified expression matrix, based on which the final distance weighted imputation is performed. Numerical results based on both simulated and real data show that tsImpute achieves favorable performance in terms of gene expression recovery, cell clustering, and differential expression analysis. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The R package of tsImpute is available at https://github.com/ZhengWeihuaYNU/tsImpute.
