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

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis coupled with CRISPR-based perturbation has enabled the inference of gene regulatory networks with causal relationships. However, a snapshot of single-cell CRISPR data may not lead to an accurate inference, since a gene knockout can influence multi-layered downstream over time. Here, we developed RENGE, a computational method that infers gene regulatory networks using a time-series single-cell CRISPR dataset. RENGE models the propagation process of the effects elicited by a gene knockout on its regulatory network. It can distinguish between direct and indirect regulations, which allows for the inference of regulations by genes that are not knocked out. RENGE therefore outperforms current methods in the accuracy of inferring gene regulatory networks. When used on a dataset we derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells, RENGE yielded a network consistent with multiple databases and literature. Accurate inference of gene regulatory networks by RENGE would enable the identification of key factors for various biological systems.
