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 chromatin accessibility sequencing (scCAS) has emerged as a valuable tool for interrogating and elucidating epigenomic heterogeneity and gene regulation. However, scCAS data inherently suffers from limitations such as high sparsity and dimensionality, which pose significant challenges for downstream analyses. Although several methods are proposed to enhance scCAS data, there are still challenges and limitations that hinder the effectiveness of these methods. Here, we propose scCASE, a scCAS data enhancement method based on non-negative matrix factorization which incorporates an iteratively updating cell-to-cell similarity matrix. Through comprehensive experiments on multiple datasets, we demonstrate the advantages of scCASE over existing methods for scCAS data enhancement. The interpretable cell type-specific peaks identified by scCASE can provide valuable biological insights into cell subpopulations. Moreover, to leverage the large compendia of available omics data as a reference, we further expand scCASE to scCASER, which enables the incorporation of external reference data to improve enhancement performance.
