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

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic diseases is challenging due to environmental and genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic loci, but their functional implications are largely unknown. Single-cell multiomics sequencing has emerged as a powerful tool to study disease-specific cell types and their relationship with genetic variants. However, comprehensive databases for exploring these mechanisms across different tissues are lacking. We present the Disease-Related Cell Type database (DRCTdb), integrating GWAS and single-cell multiomics data to identify disease-related cell types and elucidate their regulatory mechanisms. DRCTdb contains well-processed data from 16 studies, covering 4 million cells within 28 tissues. Users can browse relationships and regulatory mechanisms between SNPs of 42 genetic diseases and cell types based on GWAS and single-cell data. DRCTdb also offers data downloads and is available at https://singlecellatlas.top/DRCTDB .
