Adding Highly Variable Genes to Spatially Variable Genes Can Improve Cell Type Clustering Performance in Spatial Transcriptomics Data.
Article in Research square, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spatial transcriptomics has allowed researchers to analyze transcriptome data in its tissue sample's spatial context. Various methods have been developed for detecting spatially variable genes (SV genes), whose gene expression over the tissue space shows strong spatial autocorrelation. Such genes are often used to define clusters in cells or spots downstream. However, highly variable (HV) genes, whose quantitative gene expressions show significant variation from cell to cell, are conventionally used in clustering analyses. In this report, we investigate whether adding highly variable genes to spatially variable genes can improve the cell type clustering performance in spatial transcriptomics data. We tested the clustering performance of HV genes, SV genes, and the union of both gene sets (concatenation) on over 50 real spatial transcriptomics datasets across multiple platforms, using a variety of spatial and non-spatial metrics. Our results show that combining HV genes and SV genes can improve overall cell-type clustering performance.
