Data-driven detection of age-related arbitrary monotonic changes in single-cell gene expression distributions.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Identification of genes whose expression increases or decreases with age is central to understanding the mechanisms behind aging. Recent scRNA-seq studies have shown that changes in single-cell expression profiles with aging are complex and diverse. In this study, we introduce a novel workflow to detect changes in the distribution of arbitrary monotonic age-related changes in single-cell expression profiles. Since single-cell gene expression profiles can be analyzed as probability distributions, our approach uses information theory to quantify the differences between distributions and employs distance matrices for association analysis. We tested this technique on simulated data and confirmed that potential parameter changes could be detected in a set of probability distributions. Application of the technique to a public scRNA-seq dataset demonstrated its potential utility as a straightforward screening method for identifying aging-related cellular features.
