Contextual AI models for single-cell protein biology.
Article in Nature methods, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 papers.
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
Understanding protein function and developing molecular therapies require deciphering the cell types in which proteins act as well as the interactions between proteins. However, modeling protein interactions across biological contexts remains challenging for existing algorithms. Here we introduce PINNACLE, a geometric deep learning approach that generates context-aware protein representations. Leveraging a multiorgan single-cell atlas, PINNACLE learns on contextualized protein interaction networks to produce 394,760 protein representations from 156 cell type contexts across 24 tissues. PINNACLE's embedding space reflects cellular and tissue organization, enabling zero-shot retrieval of the tissue hierarchy. Pretrained protein representations can be adapted for downstream tasks: enhancing 3D structure-based representations for resolving immuno-oncological protein interactions, and investigating drugs' effects across cell types. PINNACLE outperforms state-of-the-art models in nominating therapeutic targets for rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases and pinpoints cell type contexts with higher predictive capability than context-free models. PINNACLE's ability to adjust its outputs on the basis of the context in which it operates paves the way for large-scale context-specific predictions in biology.
