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

Background: Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has revealed novel cell populations in organs, uncovered regulatory relationships between genes, and allowed for tracking of cell lineage trajectory during development. It demonstrates promise as a method to better understand transplant biology; however, fundamental bioinformatic tools for its use in the context of transplantation have not been developed. One major need has been a robust method to identify cells as being either donor or recipient genotype origin, and ideally without the need to separately sequence the donor and recipient. Methods: We implemented a novel two-stage genotype discovery method (scTx) optimized for transplant samples by being robust to disparities in cell number and cell type. Using both Results: Using Conclusion: scTx introduces the capability to accurately segregate donor and recipient gene expression at the single-cell level from scRNA-seq data without the need to separately genotype the donor and recipient. This will facilitate the use of scRNA-seq in the context of transplantation.
