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

Transformer-based models have revolutionized single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data analysis. However, their applicability is challenged by the complexity and scale of single-cell multi-omics data. Here a novel single-cell multi-modal/multi-task transformer (scmFormer) is proposed to fill up the existing blank of integrating single-cell proteomics with other omics data. Through systematic benchmarking, it is demonstrated that scmFormer excels in integrating large-scale single-cell multimodal data and heterogeneous multi-batch paired multi-omics data, while preserving shared information across batchs and distinct biological information. scmFormer achieves 54.5% higher average F1 score compared to the second method in transferring cell-type labels from single-cell transcriptomics to proteomics data. Using COVID-19 datasets, it is presented that scmFormer successfully integrates over 1.48 million cells on a personal computer. Moreover, it is also proved that scmFormer performs better than existing methods on generating the unmeasured modality and is well-suited for spatial multi-omic data. Thus, scmFormer is a powerful and comprehensive tool for analyzing single-cell multi-omics data.
