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

Recent technological advancements in single-cell genomics have enabled joint profiling of gene expression and alternative modalities at unprecedented scale. Consequently, the complexity of multi-omics data sets is increasing massively. Existing models for multi-modal data are typically limited in functionality or scalability, making data integration and downstream analysis cumbersome. We present multiDGD, a scalable deep generative model providing a probabilistic framework to learn shared representations of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility. It shows outstanding performance on data reconstruction without feature selection. We demonstrate on several data sets from human and mouse that multiDGD learns well-clustered joint representations. We further find that probabilistic modeling of sample covariates enables post-hoc data integration without the need for fine-tuning. Additionally, we show that multiDGD can detect statistical associations between genes and regulatory regions conditioned on the learned representations. multiDGD is available as an scverse-compatible package on GitHub.
