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 RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as a valuable tool for studying cellular heterogeneity in various fields, particularly in virological research. By studying the viral and cellular transcriptomes, the dynamics of viral infection can be investigated at a single-cell resolution. However, limited studies have been conducted to investigate whether RNA transcripts from clinical samples contain substantial amounts of viral RNAs, and a specific computational framework for efficiently detecting viral reads based on scRNA-seq data has not been developed. Hence, we introduce DVsc, an open-source framework for precise quantitative analysis of viral infection from single-cell transcriptomics data. When applied to approximately 200 diverse clinical samples that were infected by more than 10 different viruses, DVsc demonstrated high accuracy in systematically detecting viral infection across a wide array of cell types. This innovative bioinformatics pipeline could be crucial for addressing the potential effects of surreptitiously invading viruses on certain illnesses, as well as for designing novel medicines to target viruses in specific host cell subsets and evaluating the efficacy of treatment. DVsc supports the FASTQ format as an input and is compatible with multiple single-cell sequencing platforms. Moreover, it could also be applied to sequences from bulk RNA sequencing data. DVsc is available at http://62.234.32.33:5000/DVsc.
