Spatial multi-omics in whole skeletal muscle reveals complex tissue architecture.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Myofibers are large multinucleated cells that have long thought to have a rather simple organization. Single-nucleus transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics and spatial metabolomics analysis have revealed distinct transcription profiles in myonuclei related to myofiber type. However, the use of local tissue collection or dissociation methods have obscured the spatial organization. To elucidate the full tissue architecture, we combine two spatial omics, RNA tomography and mass spectrometry imaging. This enables us to map the spatial transcriptomic, metabolomic and lipidomic organization of the whole murine tibialis anterior muscle. Our findings on heterogeneity in fiber type proportions are validated with multiplexed immunofluorescence staining in tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus and soleus. Our results demonstrate unexpectedly strong regionalization of gene expression, metabolic differences and variable myofiber type proportion along the proximal-distal axis. These new insights in whole-tissue level organization reconcile sometimes conflicting results coming from previous studies relying on local sampling methods.
