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

Spatial transcriptomics technologies with high resolution often lack high sensitivity in mRNA detection. Here we report a dendrimeric DNA coordinate barcoding design for spatial RNA sequencing (Decoder-seq), which offers both high sensitivity and high resolution. Decoder-seq combines dendrimeric nanosubstrates with microfluidic coordinate barcoding to generate spatial arrays with a DNA density approximately ten times higher than previously reported methods while maintaining flexibility in resolution. We show that the high RNA capture efficiency of Decoder-seq improved the detection of lowly expressed olfactory receptor (Olfr) genes in mouse olfactory bulbs and contributed to the discovery of a unique layer enrichment pattern for two Olfr genes. The near-cellular resolution provided by Decoder-seq has enabled the construction of a spatial single-cell atlas of the mouse hippocampus, revealing dendrite-enriched mRNAs in neurons. When applying Decoder-seq to human renal cell carcinomas, we dissected the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment across different cancer subtypes and identified spatial gradient-expressed genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition with the potential to predict tumor prognosis and progression.
