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

Recent development of RNA velocity uses master equations to establish the kinetics of the life cycle of RNAs from unspliced RNA to spliced RNA (i.e., mature RNA) to degradation. To feed this kinetic analysis, simultaneous measurement of unspliced RNA and spliced RNA in single cells is greatly desired. However, the majority of single-cell RNA-seq chemistry primarily captures mature RNA species to measure gene expressions. Here, we develop a one-step total-RNA chemistry-based single-cell RNA-seq method: snapTotal-seq. We benchmark this method with multiple single-cell RNA-seq assays in their performance in kinetic analysis of cell cycle by RNA velocity. Next, with LASSO regression between transcription factors, we identify the critical regulatory hubs mediating the cell cycle dynamics. We also apply snapTotal-seq to profile the oncogene-induced senescence and identify the key regulatory hubs governing the entry of senescence. Furthermore, from the comparative analysis of unspliced RNA and spliced RNA, we identify a significant portion of genes whose expression changes occur in spliced RNA but not to the same degree in unspliced RNA, indicating these gene expression changes are mainly controlled by post-transcriptional regulation. Overall, we demonstrate that snapTotal-seq can provide enriched information about gene regulation, especially during the transition between cell states.
