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 multimodal datasets have measured various characteristics of individual cells, enabling a deep understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms. However, multimodal data generation remains costly and challenging, and missing modalities happen frequently. Recently, machine learning approaches have been developed for data imputation but typically require fully matched multimodalities to learn common latent embeddings that potentially lack modality specificity. To address these issues, we developed an open-source machine learning model, Joint Variational Autoencoders for multimodal Imputation and Embedding (JAMIE). JAMIE takes single-cell multimodal data that can have partially matched samples across modalities. Variational autoencoders learn the latent embeddings of each modality. Then, embeddings from matched samples across modalities are aggregated to identify joint cross-modal latent embeddings before reconstruction. To perform cross-modal imputation, the latent embeddings of one modality can be used with the decoder of the other modality. For interpretability, Shapley values are used to prioritize input features for cross-modal imputation and known sample labels. We applied JAMIE to both simulation data and emerging single-cell multimodal data including gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and electrophysiology in human and mouse brains. JAMIE significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods in general and prioritized multimodal features for imputation, providing potentially novel mechanistic insights at cellular resolution.
